West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will not attend the swearing-in ceremony of Congress leader Kamal Nath as Madhya Pradesh chief minister, official sources said Sunday.
There was, however, no reason cited for Banerjee not going to Bhopal for the swearing-in ceremony on Monday, an official of the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) said.
Trinamool Congress MP Dinesh Trivedi will be representing the party at the event, which the Congress intends to showcase as a picture of Opposition unity. "I have been directed by the party chief (Banerjee) to be present at Monday's swearing-in programme," Trivedi told PTI.
Asked whether he was carrying any message for the function, Trivedi said, "There is no message as such. My going there is a message itself."
