Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar may soon skip another event attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. If Bihar government officials are to be believed, the Chief Minister has decided to skip a meeting of NITI Aayog, set to be chaired by PM Modi in New Delhi on Monday.
This would be the third time in a month when Mr. Kumar will be skipping an event in which PM Modi will be present, even though Union Home Minister Amit Shah during his recent visit to Bihar, had asserted that BJP would contest the upcoming parliamentary election in 2024 along with alliance partner JD(U).
Mr. Kumar who recently recovered from Covid-19, wanted to send his deputy in the Cabinet to attend the meeting, but was informed that the event was for Chief Ministers only.
