He said that earlier it was said that only the National Development Council can take decision in this regard. But now the Centre had accepted the Bihar government’s repeated demand for special status.
The Planning Commission, following instruction from the Prime Minister, last Thursday constituted an Inter-Ministerial Group. Planning Commission member-secretary, Sudha Pillai, has been made the Chairperson of the Group while the Secretary in the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, Sumit Bose, has been made its member.
