Delhi BJP MPs and PM Modi invited for Kejriwal's 'Delhi-specific' swearing-in ceremony

As the national capital gears for the oath taking ceremony on February 16, CM designate Arvind Kejriwal has invited the seven BJP MPs who hail from Delhi to be a part, besides Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The seven MPs are Harsh Vardhan, Gautam Gambhir, Meenakshi Lekhi, Manoj Tiwari, Hans Raj Hans, Ramesh Bidhuri and Parvesh Singh that have been invited for the swearing-in ceremony. The oath-taking ceremony is said to be “Delhi specific” and hence neither chief ministers of other states nor any politicians outside Delhi have been invited for the ceremony.
