He told reporters, "The announcements made for Bihar in the union budget will boost the state's development. I hope that the Centre will keep cooperating for the state's development by fulfilling its other needs in future." When asked if he was happy with the budget, JD (U) responded with a categorical "Haan, bhai" (yes, of course).

When specifically asked about the grant of special status to Bihar, Nitish said, "There is no provision for granting special status to states any longer. Now, we are getting special assistance." Nitish's appreciation is seen as a boost for the BJPJD (U) relationship when the future of the NDA in Bihar came under scanner after the Centre rejected the   former''s demand of the grant of special status to the state on Monday.
