Meghalaya Governor Takes a Dig at Abhijit Banerjee
Meghalaya Governor Tathagata Roy, who has stirred controversy in the past with his comments, has criticised Nobel Prize winner Abhijit Banerjee for conceptualising the NYAY scheme of the Congress.
At the same time Roy in his tweets said he was proud of the achievements of Banerjee.
NYAY is a minimum income guarantee scheme of the Congress and was conceptualised before the Lok Sabha polls in 2019 and made a prominent election plank.
There was no indication from where the finances would come from, that is all I wanted to say, he added.
Roy had courted controversy with his statements against the Trianmool Congress government in West Bengal and on other issues, including on Rohingyas and Kashmir,
