Patna, March 7: RJD President and Railway Minister Lalu Prasad today met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seeking installation of a nuclear power plant in electricity-starved Bihar.
"We had a fruitful discussion with the Prime Minister who assured us that he will take up the issue with the Atomic Energy Commission", Lalu said from Delhi after a delegation of RJD ministers in the union government from Bihar and MPs called on the Prime Minister.
Lalu said the delegation explained to the Prime Minister the acute shortage of power in the state, particularly during summer, and sought his intervention for setting up a nuclear power reactor.
"I am confident that our endeavour will bear fruit and Bihar, which has no nuclear power reactor, will have one soon", he said.
