Mukul, who heads a Congress-led coalition government in the state, did not attend the swearing-in ceremony of Modi. He wrote a letter to the PMO saying,"I take this opportunity to assure you of our full support and cooperation."
Expressing his keenness to work for the benefit of the people, the CM said, "We all look forward to working with you (Modi) on matters of common concern... I am sure relations between the Centre and the states will grow in mutual confidence in the larger interests of our nation."
