Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today asserted that grant of "Special Category" status to the state would "act as a catalyst for private investment" and would boost employment generation.
In a two-page note posted on his official twitter handle, Kumar said the demand for special status to Bihar has been repeatedly raised as "it will enhance the availability of resources by lowering the state's contribution in centrally sponsored schemes, improve access to external resources."
