Mamata, Arvind Kejriwal to attend Modi's swearing-in

New Delhi: On a day two TMC MLAs and 50 councillors joined the BJP, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday said she would attend the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 30 at Rashtrapati Bhavan.

Despite fighting a bitter electoral campaign against Modi, Banerjee said she decided to attend the event as it was a 'ceremonial programme'.

"I have spoken to other Chief Ministers also. Since it is a ceremonial programme, we thought of attending it. Yes,

I will go (to Modi's oath-taking ceremony)," Banerjee said.

Also, AAP national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will attend the swearing-in ceremony. Kejriwal has been invited for the ceremony and he will attend it, a Delhi government official confirmed.
