Yet to get any response from Centre on caste- based census demand, he says
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on September 6 said that since it was a difficult time due to COVID-19, prices of things would go up and there should not be more debates on it. “At present, the priority is on eradication of the pandemic, and once it gets over, things would be normal again. But we should all accept that the country is currently passing through a difficult time these days due to COVID-19. Prices of things would go up and other things too would happen. What can one do? There should not be much debate or discussion on this [price rise] now”, Mr. Kumar told media persons after his weekly ‘Janata ke durbar mein Mukhyamantri (Chief Minister in people’s court) programme. The Centre and the State government have been spending huge amounts to tide over the crisis, he noted. “The State government has spent ₹10,000 crore on COVID-19 management”, he stated.
