Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday said 'Big Ticket Investment' (BTI) will come to Bihar only after the state gets the special status.

"The BTI will come to Bihar only after the state gets the special status, not before that," Nitish told the media here.

"Merely giving the depreciation allowance of 15 percent and other allowances won't work. We want a complete tax holiday," he added.

Union Minister of Communications and Information Technology Ravi Shankar Prasad had earlier said that industries set up in 21 districts of Bihar would be given more than 15 percent of investment and depreciation allowance.
