Bihar gets electricity from the Centre바카라s power generation plants at a higher rate compared to other states and provides the same to consumers at a much lower rate, he said while replying to the debate on the Governor's address to the joint sitting of the legislature.

바카라Every state plays a decisive role in building the country바카라 One can't think about inclusive growth of the country without constructive participation of states. A uniform electricity rate across the country should be there,바카라 Kumar said.
The central government must think a 바카라one nation, one power tariff바카라 policy, said the CM.
To maintain transparency, the Bihar government decided to install smart prepaid electricity meters in the state and 12.5 lakh such meters have been installed, Kumar said.
The CM also reiterated his demand for granting special status to Bihar and criticised the BJP-led government at the Centre for ignoring backward states.
바카라The special category status to all backward states, and not just Bihar, will make them compete with developed states,바카라 he said.
바카라The economy of Bihar is one of the fastest-growing in India. Bihar has not only grown consistently but also outperformed even the most developed states,바카라 the chief minister said.
Bihar has recorded 10.98 per cent growth in 2021-22, which is better than the national average of 8.68 per cent, he said.
