New Delhi: Five chief ministers including Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik and West Bengal's Mamata Banerjee have objected fiercely to the new National Counter Terrorism Centre. They say the centre's blueprint violates the principles of federalism by encroaching upon state government turf.
Those on the same side as Mr Patnaik and Ms Banerjee include Bihar's Nitish Kumar and Tamil Nadu's J Jayalalithaa. From Gujarat, Narendra Modi will write to the Prime Minister today, expressing the same concerns.
"Any self-respecting chief minister would oppose this," said Mr Patnaik.
