Prominent Oppositions faces Mamata Banerjee, Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati will not attend the swearing-in ceremonies of three Congress chief ministers in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh on Monday.

Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav also extended its support to Congress after it completely dethroned the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in recently concluded assembly elections 2018 from three Hindi heartland states – Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh.
