Invitations for the swearing-in ceremony of the Narendra Modi government have been extended to the families of more than 50 workers from the Bharatiya Janata Party’s West Bengal unit who were killed amidst political violence in the state, reports The Times of India.
The invited families include the kin of the party’s workers who have been killed in both violence during the Lok Sabha, as well as the Panchayat polls. The total number of invitees for the ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan is believed to be somewhere around 7,000.
The families will today (29 May) begin their journey towards New Delhi for the ceremony which is going to place tomorrow (31 May). The group will be led by functionaries of the BJP from West Bengal.
The party’s move is seen as quite significant prior to the next assembly elections which are due in the state on 2021, and in which the BJP is widely expected to give a tough fight to the ruling Trinamool government.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
