Telangana CM KCR was conspicuous this time by skipping the NITI Aayog meeting which was held by Prime Minister Modi along with many other chief ministers of various states. However, KCR didn’t attend the meeting which was also skipped by chief Ministers of congress ruled states.

Incidentally, Chandrababu also couldn’t make it to the meeting due to the emergency situation and the controversy following the recent stampede in Rajamundry. But he reportedly sent his finance minister Yanamala and CS on his behalf. KCR had attended these meetings earlier with gusto.
Chandrababu and not touch him
However, sources say that KCR’s staying away from the meeting was because he was very much unhappy with BJP’s silence over the controversial ‘note for vote’ case and the indirect orders to rescue Chandrababu and not touch him. Other issues included division of High Court and Section 8.
Contrary
to the regular gossips in the media that TRS is joining NDA while Modi
may ditch Chandrababu, TDP leaders are quite happy that Babu is still in
the good books of Modi while KCR couldn’t make any
entry
even though he tried hard. They say for rescuing Babu, the latter should
be very grateful to NaMo.
