West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who was targeted by Centre on Friday for skipping cyclone Yaas review meeting with PM Modi, on Saturday hit back at the union government asking the Prime Minister to end political vendetta and demanded that order to recall Chief Secretary Alapan Bandopadhyay must be withdrawn.
Responding on Friday s row over cyclone Yaas meeting, Mamata Banerjee said, Under a plan, they were showing some vacant chairs. Why would I sit when I could see political party leaders who were not entitled to attend the meeting, I did meet the PM.
“Depression (remnant of very severe cyclonic storm “Yaas”) over Bihar and adjoining Jharkhand has weakened into a well-marked low pressure area lay over Bihar adjoining East UP at 0530 hrs today,” the IMD said.
Mamata skipping meeting with Modi is ‘murder of Constitution’, says Nadda ‘Bengal CM should set aside her ego for the welfare of people’
Hitting out at Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for skipping a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the state on Cyclone Yaas, BJP president J P Nadda on Friday accused her of murder of constitutional ethos and the culture of cooperative federalism .
Nadda said Modi holds the principle of cooperative federalism very sacred and has been actively working with all chief ministers irrespective of their party affiliation to give relief to people but unsurprisingly, he added, Mamata s “tactics and petty politics” have once again come to haunt the people of Bengal.
