Nitish`s turn to take on Centre

In a three-page letter, Kumar said that despite a central team visiting the flood-hit districts of Bihar and agreeing with the state government on the number of affected people, the Centre refused to allocate enough funds for relief work. "Each of the flood-affected families was given Rs 200 in cash and one quintal of grain as relief," he said. "The Centre had accepted Rs 200 per family for the 45.56 lakh flood-affected families as admissible, but had not provided any money towards the Rs 714.91 crore spent on foodgrains given to these families," he added.
