On Friday, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar demanded for a separate Railway Budget to be presented in the house from the general budget.

Nitish Kumar said it has a lot of importance.

Nitish Kumar is on a Samadhan Yatra, and said to reporters in Nalanda that, "When I was the Railway Minister, we used to give thousands of jobs to people. When the Rail Budget was presented in Parliament, there were discussions across all print media".

"I want a separate Railway Budget to be presented in the House. It is most important," Nitish Kumar added.

Mr. Nitish Kumar again raised the issue of demanding special status for Bihar. Development work has been done in Bihar Sharif, he added.

"I have always been listening to the problems of people since the time I was an MLA. I keep visiting places, sitting with people and addressing their issues in life. We have always been demanding special status for Bihar," CM Nitish.

The government is in the process of finalising the Budget document to be presented on February 1.

The formal exercise to prepare the annual Budget for the next financial year commenced on October 10.

Budget 2023 is supposed to be the last full budget of the Modi led government in its second term with the next Lok Sabha elections which will be held in April-May of 2024.
