The chief ministers' conference on Monday is likely to be a dull affair with most of the non-Congress state leaders giving it a miss.     

So far only six chief ministers, all from Congress, have given their commitment to attend the meeting, official sources said.       

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is also not going to attend the chief ministers conference. The meeting,convened by the home ministry, will discuss and chalk out strategy to deal with issues relating to public order and police reforms.      

Though Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah had initially given his consent, it is learnt that he is unlikely to attend the meet. Other CMs -- Mamata Banerjee (West Bengal), J Jayalalithaa (Tamil Nadu), Naveen Patnaik (Odisha), AkhileshYadav (Uttar Pradesh), Narendra Modi (Gujarat), Nitish Kumar(Bihar), Shivraj Singh Chouhan (Madhya Pradesh), Raman Singh (Chhattisgarh) are also most likely to skip the conference.
