Telangana CM KCR and Bihar CM Nitish Kumar skip Niti Aayog meet chaired by PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is chairing the seventh governing council meeting of the government's think tank Niti Aayog which is currently underway at Rashtrapati Bhawan's cultural centre in the national capital.

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar are two big leaders who are



skipping the meeting.

KCR earlier wrote a letter to PM Modi saying that his decision is a mark of protest against what he termed as the Centre's alleged blatant discrimination against states including Telangana. Nitish Kumar, who just recovered from COVID-19, is skipping an event led by the PM for the second time in a month.
