Adhikar Rally: Nitish demands special status

As huge crowd swelled at Delhi's popular Ramlila Ground for the Adhikar Rally to press the Centre for Bihar's special status, Bihar's Chief Minister Nitish Kumar set his pitch by referring to Bihar's past - that of the Nalanda University and colonial glory - and asked why people from Bihar have had to move out of the state to study and to earn a living? Kumar reiterated his demand for special status for the state as Bihar is way below the national average in all development indices.Keywords: Ramlila Ground, Bihar, Special Status, Nitish Kumar, National Average, Development Indices
