Kolkata, May 28 (IBNS): West Bengal chief minister and Trinamool Congress president Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday indicated that she was likely to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister of India.
“We will attend the programme. There are certain ceremonial programmes where attending amounts to Constitutional courtesy. But there is only one day in between. We will try to attend,” media reports quoted Mamata as saying at Nabanna, the state secretariat.
Mamata's statement comes on a day when a number of Trinamool councillors and MLA joined the BJP.
Modi will take oath at 7pm on May 30.
