Assam Finance Minister Ajanta Neog today told the Assam Legislative Assembly that the change in the special category status to Assam is just a change of nomenclature and the State has not suffered financially due to this. While replying to Sivasagar MLA Akhil Gogoi’s question on the second day of the winter session of Assam Assembly today,

the Minister stated that the State has been getting more grants from the Centre compared to the past.

During the 11th , the State got a grant of Rs 22,646.62 crore and now under 14th finance commission we have got Rs 1,81,228 crore. This issue is raised again and again by Akhil Gogoi both in the House and outside. I believe that with this clear answer, we must put this issue to rest.
