PM Modi chairs 8th Niti Aayog meeting. Who is present, who is not?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi chairs the 8th Governing Council meeting of Niti Aayog on the theme of 'Viksit Bharat @ 2047: Role of Team India' at the new Convention Centre in Pragati Maidan, Delhi. "Eight prominent themes will be discussed during the day-long Meeting including Viksit Bharat@2047, Thrust on MSMEs, Infrastructure and Investments, Minimising Compliances, Women Empowerment, Health and Nutrition, Skill Development, and Gati Shakti for area development and social infrastructure," the NITI Aayog stated. A total of eight chief ministers, namely Arvind Kejriwal, Mamata Banerjee, Bhagwant Mann, Nitish Kumar, K Chandrashekar Rao, MK Stalin, Ashok Gehlot, and Pinarayi Vijayan, have chosen not to participate in the Niti Aayog meeting. In a letter to the Prime Minister on Friday, Kejriwal said that he was “boycotting” the meeting in protest against the “undemocratic and unconstitutional” May 19 ordinance that restored control over services in the national capital to the Centre under the LG, effectively nullifying a Supreme Court order that handed over control of services, barring police, public order and land, to the elected government.
