NCP secretary D P Tripathi to attend Cong's Nehru event

November 15, 2014 21:31

Ending speculation, NCP has decided to attend the international conference convened by Congress to mark the 125th birth anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru.

NCP chief Sharad Pawar has asked NCP general secretary D P Tripathi to attend the two-day event starting on Monday and Tripathi has already intimated Congress president Sonia Gandhi's political secretary Ahmed Patel in this regard.

Congress has not invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi or any other BJP leader to the conference it is organizing to mark the 125th birth anniversary of Nehru, joining the battle with Modi who it accuses of trying to appropriate the legacy of freedom movement leaders.

The party has at the same extended the invitation to a number of non-BJP parties and leaders including Mamata Banerjee and Nitish Kumar.
