Patna, Bihar: RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has sharply criticized the BJP-NDA and JD(U) regarding Bihar's long-standing demand for Special Status. In a recent statement, Yadav said, "We knew beforehand that BJP-NDA will not give Special Status to Bihar and that JD(U) too is doing drama. With just a small amendment, other poor states like Bihar can be given Special Status. Big amendments have been made earlier too. It is our long-standing demand."
Yadav accused the NDA of deceiving the people of Bihar and pointed out the silence of the state's Chief Minister on the issue. "PM used to say that he would agitate and hit the streets. Now, the CM is not uttering even a word over Special Status to Bihar," he added.
He further stated, "It is true that corruption has risen a lot under Nitish Kumar's governance... If probed fairly, Nitish Kumar too would bear the brunt of it."
