This is the right of the people of Bihar: JDU

JDU chief spokesperson KC Tyagi said that the demand for special state status for Bihar is the voice of the people of Bihar. JDU has sent this demand letter, but it is not the right letter. We must receive it. The new central government is going to present the general budget tomorrow.
Demand from other states too
