Will skip ‘fruitless’ Niti meet, says Mamata

Mamata Banerjee has written to PM Modi, 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. She has requested Modi to “focus” on the Inter-State Council, a constitutional body, and augment its functions as the country’s nodal entity.
