«First of all, the Prime Minister should explain why the Planning Commission was disbanded. When the BJP came to power, the first thing they did was to disband the Planning Commission.

«As far as I know, the NITI Aayog is proposing privatisation of all public sectors. That is why many Chief Ministers have raised genuine issues,» he added.
