New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will shortly announce the role that Planning Commission is going to play in his government, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said. 

Last month, the Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) had said that Planning Commission acted as a 'control commission' and should be replaced by a 'reforms and solution body'. More than one and half months after BJP swept to power, the new government is yet to announce the new Deputy Chairman of Planning Commission, in place of Montek Singh Ahluwalia who held the post for almost a decade under the UPA regime.
