West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee walked out of the NITI-Aayog meeting in New Delhi, accusing her of her microphone being deliberately switched off when she started talking about the state's budget allocation. “I spoke and the microphone was turned off. Why are you stopping me? Instead of saying I am just giving you freedom, you should be happy," Banerjee, who was the only opposition speaker at the meeting, said: "This is an insult" not only to the government but also to all regional parties. suitable time. Other speakers before him spoke for 10 to 15 minutes, some for about 20 minutes. Prime Minister Ta said: "On behalf of all states, we should also look at other states." And he left the ongoing meeting. He also said that he will never attend the next meetings of NITI Aayog.

Meanwhile, the government said in a statement that the foreign minister's claim that the microphone was switched off was misleading. “The claim that the West Bengal CM’s microphone was switched off during the meeting is true. The clock only indicated that his speaking time had expired. A bell even rang. It was his turn in alphabetical order. “After lunch.” In order to return early, he was accepted as the seventh speaker at the official request of the Government of West Bengal. In a post for parties, NITI turns Aayog into a boycott. BJP spokesperson Shahzad Poonawalla said that Banerjee is competing with the Congress for politics and also condemned Banerjee's actions (NITI Aayog) What happened. All I can say is that this so-called INDI alliance is not an alliance at all because Mamata has not given a single seat in the West Bengal Assembly. You are not capable. They are fulfilling their national duty and raising unwarranted cries, he told ANI.

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) will protest inside and outside Parliament over insulting the government and the chief minister during monsoon, officials said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday chaired the ninth meeting of the NITI Aayog Governing Council aimed at making India a developed country by 2047.

The chief ministers of several rebel-controlled states, including MK Stalin in Tamil Nadu and Sukhvinder Singh Sukhumin in Himachal Pradesh, are "anti-union" in spirit, they claim, "federal". “Very discriminatory” towards their government. Banerjee decided to attend the meeting ignoring the stand of the opposition coalition. He said he would attend the meeting and use the opportunity to register protests against "discriminatory budgets" and the "conspiracy to divide West Bengal and other rebel-controlled states." The attitude of their ministers and BJP leaders is that they want to divide Bengal. In addition to the economic blockade, they also want to create a geographical blockade, Banerjee said: "That is where we want to record our voice." Before the meeting began, Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren also did not attend the meeting, leaving Banerjee the only voice of the opposition in the meeting.

He had also advocated abolition of public policy think tanks and reintroduction of planning commissions set up by the Modi government. Since NITI Aayog was planned, I have never seen anything done because NITI Aayog has no powers. Previously, when Prime Minister, there was a Planning Commission, it had no economic powers and met once a year.
