Nitish Kumar, who just recovered from COVID-19, wanted to send his deputy but was told that the event was strictly for Chief Ministers only, sources said.
For the second time in a month, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will be skipping an event led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
A meeting of the government's think tank NITI Aayog, set to be chaired by the Prime Minister on Monday in Delhi, will not have any representative from Bihar, sources have said.
Mr Kumar, who just recovered from COVID-19, wanted to send his deputy but was told that the event was strictly for Chief Ministers only, sources said.
However, according to officials, the Chief Minister is set to hold his Janata Durbar on Monday - where he meets his constituents - resuming the event that had been cancelled for the past few weeks because of his health and other engagements.
