The National Democratic Alliance, which is headed by the BJP, issued a stinging retaliation against opposition parties on Wednesday for their choice to skip the opening of the new Parliament building, denouncing their attitude as a “blatant affront to democratic ethos and constitutional values of our great nation.” The NDA coalition, headed by the BJP, is expected to be represented by around 15 parties at the event.
Leaders of 14 members of the governing coalition pleaded with the opposition parties to change their minds in a statement, warning that if they persist, the Indian people would not forget their “egregious insult to our democracy and to their elected representatives.”
The following parties will be present at the event:
Janata Biju Dal
Such topics may always be discussed later in the August house, according to a statement from Biju Janata Dal, the party of Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik. Therefore, the BJD will take part in this historic event. The announcement said, “The Head of the Indian State is the President of India. The 1.4 billion Indians that make up the Parliament are represented. Both organizations derive their power from the Indian Constitution and are emblems of Indian democracy. It is important to protect their status and power.
YSRCP
I congratulate @narendramodi ji for dedicating the great, majestic, and spacious Parliament building to the country, said Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, a leading member of the YSRCP. The parliament, as the “temple of democracy,” embodies the spirit of our country and is owned by all the political parties and the general public. Not in the genuine spirit of democracy is boycotting such a joyous occasion. I ask that all political parties participate in this magnificent event, regardless of their political views. My party will attend this momentous occasion in the genuine spirit of democracy.
Sukhbir Singh Badal, the head of the Shiromani Akali Dal SAD, would attend the inauguration, according to party leader Daljit Singh Cheema. He said that the people of India was proud to have a new parliament and that “we do not want any politics to be played at this time.”
Party of Telugu Desam
Telugu Desam Party (TDP), the main opposition party in the southern state, has not yet stated its view on the event, despite the fact that Pattabhiram Kommareddy, a spokeswoman, informed PTI that an official pronouncement from the top leadership may surface in a day or two.
India’s Statistical Monthly
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MPs will decide on Thursday whether to attend the national capital’s May 28 inauguration of the new Parliament building.
