Mamata mocks Chandrayaan-2 mission, calls it an attempt to divert attention from economic disaster

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday said that the Chandrayaan-2 moon mission is an attempt to divert attention from the economic disaster.

Speaking inside the Bengal Assembly during a discussion on a resolution against NRC, she lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party saying, "As if the Chandrayaan-2 launch is the first in the country. As if before they came to power, no such missions were launched."
