The Opposition CMs who gave a miss include West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan.

From the NDA camp, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and Puducherry CM N Rangasamy were conspicuous by their absence. The absence of JD(U)'s Nitish Kumar, a crucial ally of the NDA government sparked speculation and criticism from Congress party and RJD, who termed it as indicative of a deeper political message.

"Bihar is neither in autopilot nor in pilot mode. We keep hearing daily about incidents of loot and murder. In such a situation, the CM not attending a key national development meeting is troubling," said RJD leader Manoj Jha.
