'Why hasn't Bihar been granted special category status': Congress criticizes PM Modi

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 19 June 2024
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Bihar, the Congress on Wednesday attacked him and asked why hasn't the state been granted special category status as promised by him. The opposition party also asked why Patna University has been denied central university status. In 2013, the Raghuram Rajan Committee recommended a new methodology for devolving funds that is based on a multi-dimensional index to account for a state's economic backwardness, Ramesh pointed out.
