Raipur. Politics is heating up over the dinner on the first day of the G-20 conference in the country’s capital New Delhi. It is noteworthy that the Chief Ministers of Congress ruled states have decided not to attend this dinner, but have cited the no flying zone of Delhi as the reason. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot had claimed that permission for landing in Delhi was not given.

However, governors and state chief ministers are allowed to travel with their planes. There is no restriction of any kind regarding the landing of their plane.
