The oath-taking ceremony will take place in what’s being conceived as a grand event at Rashtrapati Bhavan that will be attended by personalities from different walks of life and overseas leaders. As part of a neighbourhood-first policy, invitations have been extended to the heads of state and government in the region.
Apart from film stars, businessmen and leaders from across the political spectrum, invitations have also been sent to beneficiaries of various central government welfare schemes. More than 200 workers engaged in the construction of the Central Vista, and especially the new parliament building, will also be guests. They will have tea at the residence of Mansukh Mandaviya, a member of the outgoing cabinet, who will accompany them to Rashtrapati Bhavan.
