On Monday, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, fervently expressing her dissatisfaction over two pressing matters, the Teesta water sharing with Bangladesh and the NEET paper scandal.
In her letter concerning the Teesta water sharing and the Farakka Treaty, she voiced “strong reservations” about the Centre’s exclusion of the state government from crucial discussions with Bangladesh, highlighting her discontent with the lack of state involvement in these significant negotiations.
Additionally, in the wake of the recent paper leak scandal, Banerjee implored PM Modi to contemplate the abolition of NEET, advocating a return to the previous system where individual states conducted their own examinations, emphasising the need for greater integrity and local control in the process.
Calling the discussions over Teesta water sharing “unilateral” and “unacceptable”, Banerjee raised her objections to the water sharing talks between the two PMs after Bengal was excluded from the negotiations.
The letter, which was shot off in the wake of Modi’s recent bilateral talks with his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina in Delhi, followed Banerjee’s reported displeasure expressed in close circles after details of the meet between the two heads of state were reported in national media.
