Interestingly, the who's who of the country will rub shoulders with the residents of some 250 odd slum clusters from across the city who have also been invited to attend the swearing-in ceremony.

The list of invitees for the ceremony includes Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah, defence minister Rajnath Singh and other Union ministers. At least 20 chief ministers from BJP and NDA-ruled states, 50 prominent personalities from various fields, and people from city slum clusters have also been invited to the event.
