The war of states at NDC

NDC (National Development Council) meeting, convened to discuss 12th plan paper (2012-17), saw different states showing their displeasure in different manners to their alleged dominating attitude of central government.

The most prominent display of displeasure was by Tamilnadu CM Jayalalithaa when she walked out of the meeting after bell rang at the end of ten minutes of her lecture when she still had to complete 18 more pages from her speech. 

Jayalalithaa described ringing the bell as utter humiliation and stifling the voice of Chief Ministers.

Gujarat CM Narendra Modi raised a question mark over attainability of 8% growth rate in 12th plan.

Bihar CM Nitish Kumar raised the demand for giving Bihar a special status again in the meeting after it was rejected by Planning Commission and an Inter-ministerial Group formed after that.
