Agartala, Mar 8: Outgoing Chief Minister Manik Sarkar and former ministers of his cabinet would attend the swearing-in ceremony of the new BJP-IPFT combine government tomorrow, Left Front convener Bijan Dhar said today.

However, leaders of opposition Left parties would not join the programme in protest against post-poll violence in the state, said Dhar, also CPI(M) state secretary.

"The outgoing chief minister and his ministers would attend the swearing-in ceremony. Left parties have also been invited to join it. But we will not go there to protest against the post-poll violence," Dhar told a press conference.

BJP state president Biplab Kumar Deb would be sworn-in as the chief minister at the Assam Rifles ground here tomorrow.
