On NITI Aayog meeting in Delhi, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee says, “…I said you (central government) should not discriminate against state governments. I wanted to speak but I was allowed to speak only for 5 minutes. People before me spoke for 10-20 minutes. I was the only one from the opposition who was participating but still, I was not allowed to speak. This is insulting…”
“I don’t have a problem if they allocate more funds to some states… I told them that the Centre only gives instructions and it is the job of states to do the work at the ground. You only gave instructions during the COVID-19 crisis, and it were the states who handled everything. I told them that they have withheld Rs 1.72 lakh crore of our fund, and this amount will only increase this year,” says West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee (@MamataOfficial) after arriving in Kolkata.
Earlier today, Banerjee walked out of a Niti Aayog meeting chaired by PM Modi in New Delhi and claimed that she was unfairly stopped midway in her speech, despite being the sole representative of the opposition.
