Sonia Gandhi will not attend the swearing-in ceremony. According to the source, this information has come to the fore. The same CPM Politburo leader Prakash Karat attacked the Congress for not inviting several chief ministers to the swearing-in ceremony. He said that the Congress party is not taking such a stand, so that the parties of different states can be united. They have not invited the Chief Ministers of Kerala and Telangana because the Congress is going to contest elections considering them as their enemies. Elections are going to be held in Telangana in December.
BRS said that BJP is their main enemy but Congress is ready to fight against BRS and defeat them. He is not talking about BJP. She should realize that she is not the only force fighting the BJP.
