West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday walked out of the NITI Aayog meeting chaired by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and alleged that her mic was muted while she was speaking.”I have come out boycotting the meeting. (Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister) Chandrababu Naidu was given 20 minutes to speak. The chief ministers of Assam, Goa, and Chhattisgarh spoke for 10-12 minutes. I was stopped from speaking after just five minutes. This is unfair,” said Banerjee alleging that her mic was turned off.”I said why did you stop me, why are you discriminating. I am attending the meeting you should be happy instead of that you are giving more scope to your party your government. Only I am there from the opposition and you are stopping me from speaking. This is not only the insult of Bengal but also of all regional parties,” Banerjee said.”Even the budget. This is political, biased Budget. I said, why are you discriminating against other states? NITI Aayog has no financial powers, how will it work? Give it financial powers or bring the Planning Commission back,” the Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo told reporters after she came out of the meeting.Several INDIA bloc CMs had announced their decision to skip the meeting as a mark of protest against the Union budget which, they alleged, was “anti-federal” in spirit and “extremely discriminatory” towards their states.The list includes Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin of the DMK, Kerala Chief Minister and CPI (M) leader Pinarayi Vijayan, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann of the Aam Aadmi Party and all three Congress chief ministers — Karnataka’s Siddaramaiah, Himachal Pradesh’s Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and Telangana’s Revanth Reddy.”All opposition-ruled states, including West Bengal, have been totally deprived in this budget. The Centre has shown a step-motherly attitude towards these states. I cannot accept such discrimination and political bias against us,” Banerjee said earlier.Referring to West Bengal BJP president and Union minister Sukanta Majumdar’s proposal to integrate north Bengal with the northeastern states but without directly naming him, Banerjee said she “strongly condemned such statements” coming at a time when Parliament is in session.”There’s a conspiracy to divide West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand and Assam. While the minister is making his own statements, the demand to divide these states is now coming from various other quarters of the BJP. Dividing West Bengal means dividing India,” she alleged.
