The CM has stated that boycotting such an auspicious event is not in the true spirit of democracy and appealed to all political parties to attend the event and announced that his party would attend.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and YSR Congress party (YSRCP) president, Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, has criticized various opposition parties for their decision to boycott the inauguration of the new Parliament building by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Sunday. Reddy expressed his disagreement with the opposition's boycott, stating that it goes against the "true spirit of democracy".

In a tweet posted on Wednesday, Jagan Reddy called for all political parties to attend the historic event, setting aside their political differences.

“I congratulate @narendramodiji for dedicating the grand, majestic, and spacious Parliament building to the nation. Parliament, being the temple of democracy, reflects our nation's soul and belongs to the people of our country and all the political parties. Boycotting such an auspicious event is not in the true spirit of democracy" he tweeted.

Reddy's tweet came shortly after 19 opposition parties announced their decision to boycott the inauguration, demanding that either President Droupadi Murmu or Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla should inaugurate the premises instead. However, Reddy expressed his disagreement, emphasizing that boycotting such a significant event is not in line with the true spirit of democracy.
