Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj and senior party leader Murli Maohar Joshi will not be able to make it because of the ongoing session of Parliament. Party’s chief minister candidate for Delhi Harshwardhan too is not coming. He cancelled his visit due to ongoing political situation in Delhi.
Meanwhile party leaders like Shahnawaz Hussain, Kaptan Singh Solanki and Satpal Malik have already arrived in city on Thursday while other guests are expected to arrive on Friday morning. City’s five stars hotels have been booked to accommodate the VVIPs attending the ceremony. However, due to the peak tourist season most city hotels, particularly the 5-stars are finding it difficult to provide accommodation to the visiting guests.
Over 50 thousands visitors are expected to attend the ceremony for which arrangements are being made within the building premises and outside Janpath, sources said.
Seating arrangements, drinking water facility, parking and security among other arrangements were being finalised till late night for visitors who will attend the programme at Janpath.
