Bihar lacks natural resources: JDU minister
Bihar CM Nitish Kumar's party Janata Dal United (JDU) veteran leader and Bihar government minister Ashok Chaudhary held a press conference in Patna on July 11. Meanwhile, he reminded the party's old demands. He said, 'We have been demanding special state status for Bihar since the beginning. There should be no difficulty in giving special state status to Bihar. As everyone knows that Bihar lacks natural resources. There is a geographical and historical reason for this, so Biharis have no role in it. We do not have mines or beaches here, so it is not Bihar's fault. If a state has a gold mine, it is neither the achievement of the government nor of the people. We are not a lucky state. Bihar should get special state status.'

On the other hand, Hindustani Awam Morcha (Hindustani Awam Morcha) chief Jitan Ram Manjhi has again demanded special state status. The party said that the state must get special state status.
