Nitish Kumar skipped NITI Aayog meet over refusal of special category status to Bihar: CPI(ML) Liberation leader

The Hindu  

The Communist Party of India Liberation, a constituent of the INDIA bloc, claimed, that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar skipped the NITI Aayog meeting out of embarrassment over the Centre’s refusal to grant special category status to the State. However, JD leaders were tight-lipped over the absence of Nitish Kumar, the party president, at the NITI Aayog meeting held in Delhi on July 27. Mehboob Alam, CPIL leader in the Bihar Assembly, said, “I must say that Kumar skipped the meeting out of embarrassment over the refusal of the Centre to grant special category status to Bihar.” “He should have attended the crucial meeting… He has once again lost the opportunity to seek special category status for Bihar and inclusion of the State's amended reservation laws in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution,” he added. Another CPIL MLA Ajeet Kumar Singh expressed similar views saying, “The CM’s decision to skip the NITI Aayog meeting shows that he is least bothered about the welfare of the people of Bihar.”
