Mamata refuses to attend Niti Ayog meet. Writes to PM Narendra Modi.

The West Bengal Chief minister Mamata Bannerjee who is always at loggerheads with the saffron party and prime minister Narendra Modi has refused to attend the meeting of the newly formed Niti Ayog to be held on 15th June in New Delhi.

Fond of creating controversies and extremely annoyed with Prime Minister Narendra Modi ideologically as well as the venom spitted by both of them against each other during the general election in Bengal resulting in several killings and unabated violence, Mamata Benerjee has written a strong letter informing the PM about not attending this crucial meeting.

According to the West Bengal CM Ms Bannerjee there is nothing important to be deliberated in the meeting as the new body/ structure of Niti Ayog has no fruitful financial provisions for the states.

First give the state sufficient n credible financial support n packages and then talk of inviting me in the meeting.

Ms Mamata Bannerjee has skipped earlier meetings of the Niti Ayog in the past as well and has been the greatest opponent of prime minister when he changed the Planning Commission into Niti Ayog during the previous BJP led NDA government after 2014.

The meeting of Niti Ayog scheduled for 15th June first after the formation of NDA 2 government would be discussing on issues of inter state water disputes, matters pertaining to national security and volatile situation in Jammu and Kashmir including other pivotal matters of state allocations n farmers issue etc.

The Planning Comission of India was formed by the late prime minister Jawahar Lal Nehru after Independence with the objective to formulate five year plans for the country’s development and also to allocate budgets for various schemes to states and the centre.

After prime minister Narendra Modi came to power at the centre in 2014 he changed it to Niti Ayog.

The chief ministers of all the states, union territories, governors , RBI governor, senior most bureaucrats and some central ministers are its members led by prime minister of the country.

About 4 meetings of the Niti Ayog had been held in the past to discuss important matters of the country viz financial and agrarian issues, issues of national security, Jammu n Kashmir crisis etc.
