These political parties will attend inauguration of new parliament. Full list

Twenty opposition parties, including the Congress, AAP, TMC, issued a joint statement on Wednesday announcing to boycott the event

The inauguration of the new parliament building coming up on Sunday has sparked a row amongst political parties as to who are against the event and will be boycotting the same, and those who are in favour and will be attending it. 20 opposition parties, including the Congress, Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party, Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress, issued a joint statement on Wednesday announcing to boycott the event as they called the inauguration of the new parliament building a “grave insult” and "direct assault" on democracy.

On the other hand, there are several parties who have announced their decision to attend the event saying it will be “in the true spirit of democracy” and a “momentous occasion”.

There are also parties, like Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) that have not boycotted the event but will not be attending the same. BSP chief Mayawati welcoming the inauguration, tweeted, “Whether it was the government of the Congress party at the Center before or now of the BJP, the BSP has always supported them…the party also supported the inauguration of the new building of the Parliament on May 28. Boycott is unfair for not inaugurating the new Parliament by President Draupadi Murmu. The government has made it, so it has the right to inaugurate it. It is also unfair to link this with tribal women's respect.” However, Mayawati stated that she wouldn't be attending the event due to “pre-scheduled engagement”.

Here's a full list of the parties which will attend the inauguration along with the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Biju Janata Dal (BJD)

YSRCP leader Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said, “I congratulate @narendramodi ji for dedicating the grand, majestic and spacious Parliament building to the nation. Parliament, being the temple of democracy, reflects our nation's soul and belongs to the people of our country and all the political parties. Boycotting such an auspicious event is not in the true spirit of democracy. Setting aside all political differences, I request that all political parties attend this glorious event. In the true spirit of democracy, my party will attend this historic event.”
