Centre Rules Out Special Status For Bihar, Lalu Yadav's Party Takes A Swipe

The Centre has ruled out any plan to give a special category status to Bihar, a core demand by its key ally, the Janata Dal (United), prompting the Rashtriya Janata Dal to take a swipe at JDU leader and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Ramprit Mandal, JDU MP from Bihar's Jhanjharpur, had asked the Finance Ministry if the government has a plan to provide special status to Bihar and other most backward states to promote economic growth and industrialisation.

In a written response, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary said "case for Special Category Status for Bihar is not made out".

"The Special Category Status for plan assistance was granted in the past by the National Development Council (NDC) to some States that were characterized by a number of features necessitating special consideration. These features included (i) hilly and difficult terrain, (ii) low population density and/or sizeable share of tribal population, (iii) strategic location along borders with neighbouring countries, (iv) economic and infrastructural backwardness and (v) non-viable nature of State finances," the reply stated. "Earlier, the request of Bihar for Special Category Status was considered by an Inter-Ministerial Group (IMG) which submitted its Report on 30th March, 2012. The IMG came to the finding that based on existing NDC criteria, the case for Special Category Status for Bihar is not made out," it added.

A special status ensures more central support to a backward state to expedite its growth. While the Constitution does not provide for a special status for any state, it was introduced on the recommendations of the Fifth Finance Commission in 1969. Among the states that have received a special status so far are Jammu and Kashmir (now a Union Territory), Noreastern states and hill states such as Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

A state with a special category status gets more funding support from the Central in the Union government's schemes and several concessions in taxes.

A special status for Bihar has been a longstanding demand of the JDU. With the BJP falling short of a majority in this election and tying up with JDU, TDP and other parties to cobble up the magic figure, the Nitish Kumar-led party was expected to push hard for its core demand. The JDU also raised this demand at an all-party meeting before the budget session.

JDU MP Sanjay Kumar Jha said the demand for a special state status for Bihar has been a priority for the JDU. "Bihar should get the status of a special state, this has been the demand of our party since the beginning. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has held big rallies for this demand. If the government feels that there is a problem in doing this, then we have demanded a special package for Bihar," he said, according to a PTI report.

With the Centre making it clear that it has no plan to grant a special status, Bihar's main Opposition RJD has hit out at the JDU, which is ruling the state in alliance with BJP. "Nitish Kumar and JDU leaders must enjoy the fruits of power at the Centre and continue their drama politics on special status," the RJD said in a post on X.

A source in the government said that the Special Category Status issue was first addressed in the National Development Council meeting in 1969. "During this meeting, the D R Gadgil Committee introduced a formula to allocate Central Assistance for state plans in India. Prior to this, there was no specific formula for fund distribution to States, and grants were given on a scheme basis. The Gadgil Formula, approved by the NDC, prioritized special category States such as Assam, Jammu & Kashmir, and Nagaland, ensuring their needs were addressed first from the pool of Central assistance."

The Special Category status concept was introduced by the 5th Finance Commission in 1969 recognising historical disadvantages of certain regions, the source said.

"Until the 2014-2015 fiscal year, the 11 States with Special Category Status benefited from various advantages and incentives. However, following the dissolution of the Planning Commission and the formation of the NITI Aayog in 2014, the recommendations of the 14th Finance Commission were implemented, leading to the discontinuation of Gadgil Formula-based grants. Instead, the devolution from the divisible pool to all States was increased from 32% to 42%," the source added.

Central Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP's National President JP Nadda discussed election strategies with the core committee members of the state. It is speculated that BJP may soon release the first list of its candidates for the Rajasthan elections. What's Brewing in BJP's Strategy Meeting? Regarding the legislative assembly elections, Nadda and Shah engaged in one-on-one conversations with all prominent leaders of the state. Following the meeting, Deputy Leader of Opposition Satish Poonia said, "A clear message has been conveyed to (us) to contest the elections vigorously and win them.

As for when BJP will release the first list of candidates, Rajasthan BJP's Co-incharge, Vijaya Rahatkar, stated, "The party's parliamentary board will decide on this." A Message of Unity - Shekhawat After the meeting, Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat mentioned that it was a clear signal from Prime Minister Modi that everyone should come together to fight the elections.

Meghwal's Critique of Gehlot On the topic of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar's visit to Rajasthan, Central Law and Justice Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal questioned Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's statement, "Why is he coming now?" Meghwal asked whether the Vice President would seek permission to enter. He made these remarks during a government event in Bikaner, stating that engaging in politics on this matter is not appropriate. Congress's Take on BJP's Preparations Meanwhile, Rajasthan Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas took aim at BJP's preparations, saying, "... BJP is under pressure... The atmosphere that Congress has created, BJP's national leaders (are coming here). No matter how many discussions BJP holds, it won't change the fact that discussions on Rajasthan's model of development and progress are taking place across the country. BJP has raised issues like law and order and paper leaks. Our law and order situation is better than BJP-ruled states like Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. BJP has internal factions. They sidelined Vasundhara Ji, and now, they are having meetings, but it's too late... Congress will win and form the government in Rajasthan with a majority. Read the full article
