Congress CMs to skip Modi's swearing-in ceremony

May 25, 2014 21:38

Anita Katyal reports: Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan will not be attending Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi's swearing-in function on Monday.

Chavan was in New Delhi on Sunday for a meeting with Congress president Sonia Gandhi where he is believed to have offered explanation for the party's rout in Maharashtra.

The Congress won only two seats in the state.

Although Chavan has received an invitation for Modi's swearing-in, he is not staying back for the programme.

He will be leaving for Mumbai on Monday morning. Kerala chief minister Oomen Chandy and Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah too are not attending the function.
