On Monday the swearing in ceremony of J.Jayalalitha as Tamilnadu's Chief Minister for the sixth time is likely to bring together a constellation of stars of non-Congress political parties and invitations are being sent to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, top BJP leaders and Chief Ministers of states ruled by parties other than the Congress.
The guest list includes BJP president Amit Shah, finance minister Arun Jaitley, IT and communications minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and Chief Ministers Navin Patnaik of Orissa, N Chandrababu Naidu of Andhra Pradesh and Vasundhara Raje of Rajasthan, besides other prominent leaders.
Earlier Mr. Modi had attended the swearing-in ceremony of Ms Jayalalitha in May 2011 while she has reciprocated the gesture by participating in the ceremony in which he was sworn in as Chief Minister of Gujarat for a third straight term in December 2012.
Sources have stated that Mr. Modi and other senior leaders are expected to finalize their program once they get a formal invitation from AIADMK. Ms Jayalalitha will be sworn in as Chief Minister on Monday at the Centenary Auditorium of the University of Madras, where she was sworn in last year.
