Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar did not attend the Niti Aayog meeting chaired by Modi in New Delhi on Saturday.
Instead, the state was represented by Deputy Chief Ministers Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha. The reason for Kumar’s absence was not immediately clear.
JD(U) spokesperson Neeraj Kumar noted that Kumar had previously missed Niti Aayog meetings as well, and emphasized that the presence of the four Union ministers from Bihar at the meeting was sufficient.
The ninth governing council meeting focused on the 'Vikshit Bharat@2047' document aimed at making India a developed nation.
The council which includes all Chief Ministers, Lieutenant Governors of Union territories and several Union ministers is chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
