What does Bihar expect for itself when Arun Jaitley rises to present the budget on Wednesday? “But the Union budget is not for any particular state. Union minister in charge of roads, Nitin Gadkari, had promised that Bihar would get Rs 50,000 crore for road projects, which did not take off. Bihar road construction minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav said: “The promises made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on spending Rs 55000 crore on roads in Bihar are yet to be met. The Union budget should declare MSP for potato and onion and provision free electricity for farmers,” Rakesh said.
