RJD MP Sanjay Yadav said that the Chief Minister should meet the Prime Minister to discuss the developmental issues of the state. He demanded a special economic package for Bihar to improve the state’s economic situation. Yadav also urged Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to ask Prime Minister Modi to grant Bihar special state status during their meeting. The Rajya Sabha member of RJD also stressed the need for a caste-based census and suggested that Bihar’s 90 per cent backward, Dalit, and extremely backward population can benefit from it. He also referred to the time when Tejashwi Yadav’s government increased the reservation to 65 per cent, suggesting that this reservation should be included in the Constitution’s Ninth Schedule. The meeting is scheduled to take place in Delhi on February 16. The Chief Minister is expected to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 17. The visit is part of the Bihar Chief Minister’s three-day tour of the country. The trip is also scheduled to include a stop in Mumbai and Kolkata.
