Congress CMs skip BRICS dinner, BJP labels move partisan

Chief Ministers from Congress-governed states did not attend a dinner hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the BRICS summit, drawing criticism from the BJP.

The BJP characterized the absence as a partisan decision, suggesting it reflected political rather than administrative considerations. Congress-led states have previously been at the center of similar political disagreements over attendance at national events.

The dinner was part of the BRICS summit proceedings, which brings together leaders from Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
