Hasina invited for Mamata's swearing-in

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has invited Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to attend her second swearing-in ceremony in Kolkata to be held on May 27, reports NDTV.

Among others on the guest list are Narendra Modi, Bhutanese leader Tshering Tobgay, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal and Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad.

"A host of national and international leaders, including Modi and his Bangladheshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina and Bhutanese leader Tshering Tobgay are being invited for the ceremony," a Trinamool Congress leader said on Saturday.

Trinamool Congress supremo Banerjee, who on Friday staked claim to form the government in the state for the second term, said that unlike in 2011 when the oath-taking venue was the Raj Bhavan, the swearing in this time will be held at the Red Road (Indira Gandhi Sarani).

"The oath taking ceremony will be held at the Red Road so that more people can witness it," Banerjee said on Friday.
