Mamata Banerjee has decided to stay away from the June 15 Niti Aayog meeting to be presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that it is a “fruitless” exercise for her.
The Bengal chief minister has written to the Prime Minister, saying that she will not attend the meeting as the Niti Aayog, unlike the erstwhile Planning Commission it replaced, has “no financial powers” and therefore cannot support State Plans.
