Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday presented the Union Budget for FY 24-25 with some major announcements for states like Andhra Pradesh and Bihar. After the budget, Nitish Kumar made his first reaction by praising the monetary aid announced for the state. Reacting on the budget, he said, "I have continuously spoken for this (special status), I told them as well (NDA). I told them to give us either a special status or a special package...As a follow-up, they have announced aid for a lot of things...We were speaking of special status and a lot of people said that the provision for special status has been done away with much earlier. So, instead of that, aid should be given for helping Bihar. They have now started it."
