Mamata Banerjee Walks Out of NITI Aayog Meeting
KC Tyagi Questions Her Intentions
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee attended the NITI Aayog meeting on Saturday, even though the INDIA alliance had decided to boycott it. JD-U leader KC Tyagi asked if she plans to join the ruling NDA because she attended the meeting despite being asked not to.
During the meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Banerjee claimed she was not allowed to speak for more than five minutes, while other Chief Ministers were given more time. She found this treatment insulting and walked out of the meeting.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman denied Banerjee’s claims, stating that every Chief Minister was given their allotted time to speak. She added that Banerjee could have requested more time if needed, instead of using it as an excuse to leave the meeting.
