New Delhi, Dec 7 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday will be holding consultations with chief ministers of states on the structure and role of the new body that will replace the Planning Commission.
However, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will not attend the meet. Banerjee has been in a tussle with the Centre for long over Burdwan blasts and Saradha scam investigations.
 
State Finance Minister Amit Mitra will attend the meeting on her behalf.
 
Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah will not attend the meet as well.
 
He has cited Assembly elections in his state as the reason for it, said reports.
 
According to reports, the Commission could be called KARMA which stands for Knowledge And Reforms Management Agency and will be picking up best practices of various countries abroad.
 
The Prime Minister in his Independence Day speech from the Red Fort in Delhi had announced that the Commission would be abolished and replaced with a more relevant institution. 
 
India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had set up the Planning Commission to steer the nation's economic destiny at that time.
