Treatment of West Bengal CM at NITI Aayog meet unacceptable: Congress

The Congress criticised NITI Aayog for its treatment of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at a meeting, calling it "unacceptable" after she was stopped midway through her speech. The government defended itself, stating her speaking time had ended. The Congress accused the NITI Aayog of being biased towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi and boycotted the meeting due to alleged discrimination in the Union Budget.
