President advises finance minister to consider Bihar aid bill

IndiaTimes Sunday, 7 January 2024
President Draupadi Murmu recommends bill for special financial assistance to Bihar to be considered by finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman. The bill, introduced by RJD lawmaker AD Singh, addresses the demand for 'special status' by both RJD and JD(U) due to Bihar's revenue loss after bifurcation. The Centre has previously denied special category status to any state, but Bihar's backwardness and the President's recommendation offer new hope. In 2018, the Centre agreed to provide special assistance to Andhra Pradesh to compensate for the additional central share.

Jharkhand Exit Polls 2024: NDA Holds Edge In Close Fight With JMM+, Predicts Poll Of Polls

The exit polls for Jharkhand Assembly Elections 2024 suggest a neck-and-neck contest, with the NDA slightly ahead of the JMM+ alliance. The Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA appears to have made gains in key regions, but the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-Congress-RJD alliance remains a formidable contender. The predictions indicate a tough battle, with both sides vying for a majority in the 81-member assembly. While the NDA is banking on its development narrative and anti-incumbency sentiment, the JMM+ alliance relies on its strong tribal voter base and welfare schemes #jharkhandexitpollresults #exitpollresults #jharkhandexitpoll2024 #jharkhandelection2024 #jharkhandexitpoll #jharkhandelectionexitpoll #exitpoll #jharkhandelectionresult #exitpoll2024 #exitpoll2024live #electionsresults #bjp #congress #exitpollwithoneindia #jmm ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.103~GR.344~
