Murder of constitutional ethos: BJP hits out at Mamata for skipping cyclone review meet with PM Narendra Modi

BJP president J P Nadda on Friday accused her of "murder of constitutional ethos and the culture of cooperative federalism".

New Delhi: Hitting out at West 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 (May 28) 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, Banerjee's tactics and petty politics have once again come to haunt the people of Bengal. "When PM Narendra Modi stands strong with the citizens of West Bengal in wake of Cyclone Yaas, Mamata ji should also set aside her ego for the welfare of people. Her absence from the PM's meeting is a murder of constitutional ethos & the culture of cooperative federalism," he tweeted.
