Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi has issued a landmark invitation to members of the transgender community as well as sanitation workers and labourers involved in the construction of the new parliament building to attend his swearing-in ceremony.

BJP MP Anurag Thakur confirmed that those who participated in 'Mann ki baat', Vikshit Bharat Abhiyan, and the NaMo app have also been invited. Several invitees gathered at Thakur's residence before the event.

Former Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Virendra Kumar and former Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat honored members of the transgender community and sanitation workers, respectively, expressing PM Modi's commitment to 'sabka saath sabka vishwas and sabha prayas'.

This marks the first time transgender community members are formally invited to such an event, highlighting their vital role in their community's empowerment. Former Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya also honored 90 labourers and 30 sanitation workers.

Fifty members of the transgender community led by Sonam Kinnar from the UP BJP unit attended to bless the new government, despite expressing disappointment over the election results. Business leaders like Mukesh Ambani, Bollywood actors such as Anupam Kher, and former JNU student leader Shehla Rashid were among the prominent guests.

Modi's third consecutive oath-taking ceremony, set for Sunday evening at Rashtrapati Bhavan, aligns him with Jawaharlal Nehru's historic record of successive victories.

Dignitaries and special invitees from India's neighborhood and the Indian Ocean Region are also expected to attend.
