The Biju Janata Dal (BJD), led by Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, announced its participation in the inauguration of the new parliament by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday. This makes them one of the key non-NDA parties to accept the invitation, in contrast to the mass boycott by the Opposition. The Opposition accuses the government of disrespecting President Droupadi Murmu.

Disregarding the Opposition's boycott, the BJD emphasized the sanctity of the President and parliament, stating that any concerns can be addressed through later debates. In a statement released by the party, it acknowledged the President's role as the Head of the Indian State and highlighted the Parliament's representation of the 1.4 billion people of India. The BJD believes that these Constitutional institutions should be regarded above issues that may compromise their integrity and respect. Therefore, they have decided to be a part of this significant event.

The ruling YSR Congress in Andhra Pradesh has also confirmed its attendance. It is worth noting that the Centre recently approved a substantial amount of funds for Andhra Pradesh, marking the largest allocation since the state's bifurcation in 2014. Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has generally shown support for the Centre's policies, aligning with the opposition only in specific cases.Several other parties, including the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), Telugu Desam Party (TDP) led by Chandrababu Naidu, Shiv Sena (Shinde faction), Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), and AIADMK (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam), an ally of the BJP in Tamil Nadu, are expected to attend the event.

In contrast, earlier today, 20 Opposition parties announced their boycott of Sunday's ceremony, citing concerns that the Prime Minister inaugurating the new parliament building was a direct attack on democracy.
