Four Opposition-Ruled State CMs Skip BRICS Gala Dinner

Four state leaders were invited to a special BRICS dinner in New Delhi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi hosted the dinner.

The invited leaders represented Kerala, Telangana, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu.

The report says they did not attend.

Their stated reason was that they already had other commitments.

The article describes the states as opposition-ruled.

It also says the Congress-ruled states gave this explanation.

One sentence appears to contain a wording mistake because it says they “sipped” the dinner while the headline says they skipped it.
