Chaturvedi Slams Shiv Sena Over Non-Inclusion In Reconstituted NITI Aayog

Meanwhile, Shiv Sena UBT MP Priyanka Chaturvedi had recently criticised the Shiv Sena for the non-inclusion of its minister in the reconstituted NITI Aayog. In a post on social media platform X, Rajya Sabha member Chaturvedi remarked, "No place for Shinde Sena in the reconstituted NITI Ayog. When 'Niti' is only immoral power grab, can understand the exclusion."

Union Minister of State for AYUSH (Independent Charge) Prataprao Jadhav, who is also MoS in the Health Ministry, was not included in the reconstituted committee. On July 16, the Narendra Modi-led NDA government reconstituted the NITI Aayog, appointing four full-time members and 15 union ministers, including those from BJP allies, as either ex-officio members or special invitees.

Jadhav is part of the Shiv Sena led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, an ally of the BJP. The Sena (UBT) has frequently accused the Shinde-led Shiv Sena of usurping power by "betraying" Uddhav Thackeray.
