Goa Pradesh Congress Committee president Shantaram Naik on Tuesday expressed the fear that NITI Aayog will soon encroach upon the powers of Goa state government thereby undermining the interest of Goans.
Naik alleged that NITI Aayog, which was established by destroying the Planning Commission established by Jawaharlal Nehru, is likely usurp the powers of the state government though constitutional and extra-constitutional means by giving directions to the state government's Cabinet.
Naik was addressing his partymen at Congress House on the occasion of Nehru's birth anniversary. "Goa could be free only because of determination of Nehru, supported by the then Defence Minister Krisna Menon," he sought to highlight.
