After storming out of the meeting, Mamata Banerjee claimed that her mic was muted and she was allowed to speak for only 5 minutes.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee alleged "political discrimination" at a key NITI Aayog meeting in Delhi held to allow states to present their concerns to the Prime Minister. Ms Banerjee was the only Chief Minister from a non-BJP ruled state who attended the meeting, as all other INDIA bloc leaders boycotted the event.
After storming out of the meeting, the Trinamool chief claimed that her mic was muted and she was allowed to speak for only 5 minutes.
"I said you (Centre) shouldn't discriminate against state governments. I wanted to speak, but my mic was muted. I was allowed to speak only for 5 minutes, while people before me spoke for 10-20 minutes," Ms Banerjee told reporters.
