Anurag Thakur Criticizes Opposition for Skipping Niti Aayog Meeting

BJP MP Anurag Thakur accused opposition-ruled states of playing politics by missing the Niti Aayog meeting. He emphasized that the platform is for policy-making, and criticized them for prioritizing politics over governance. Thakur also addressed various criticisms, including the handling of Punjab's budget and the AAP's governance in Delhi.

Anurag Thakur, BJP MP, has accused opposition-ruled states of deliberately skipping the Niti Aayog meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Thakur criticized their absence, stating that the platform is meant for productive discussions on policy-making, not for political games.

Chief ministers from Congress-ruled Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, and Telangana, along with those from Tamil Nadu, Punjab, and Kerala, missed the meeting held on July 27. Thakur alleged that their absence was a political maneuver rather than a genuine boycott.

Thakur also addressed Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s allegations that the Union Budget ignored Punjab, clarifying that the budget encompasses all states without discrimination. Furthermore, he criticized AAP's handling of Delhi’s administration following the tragic deaths of three students due to basement flooding at a coaching center.
