FM Nirmala Sitharaman Rebuts CM Mamata Banerjee 's 'Mic Off' Claims at NITI Aayog Meet: "Not True.."

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on July 27 refuted West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's claims that her microphone was turned off during the NITI Aayog meeting.

While speaking to ANI, Sitharaman accused the TMC supremo of building a "narrative based on falsehood."

"CM Mamata Banerjee attended the Niti Aayog meeting. We all heard her. Every CM was given the allotted time, which was displayed on the screen present before every table... She claimed in the media that her mic was put off. That is completely false. Every CM was given their due time to speak... It's unfortunate that the Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, has claimed that her mic was switched off, which is not true... She should speak the truth behind this rather than building a narrative based on falsehood," Sitharaman said.
