Bihar's ruling alliance asks Centre to clear its stand over special status

The ruling Grand Alliance in Bihar is pressuring the BJP-led NDA government to clarify whether it will grant special category status to the state. Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav reminded PM Narendra Modi of his commitment to grant the status during an election rally. The state government has passed a resolution demanding special category status in light of the recent caste survey. The government plans to undertake welfare measures based on the survey's findings, which will require an expenditure of Rs2.50 lakh crores.
