New Delhi:  The big decision comes out on Monday during the  Monsoon session of the parliament, where Bihar is not granted special state status. NDA allies Sanjay Kumar Jha of Janata Dal (United) and Union Minister Chirag Paswan of Lok Janshakti Party, along with INDIA Bloc allies, have demanded this. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has also joined the chorus.

On Sunday, JD(U), YSRCP and BJD demanded special category status for states including Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Odisha respectively, while the Congress’s Jairam Ramesh said “strangely, the TDP kept quiet on the matter”.
