The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) on Thursday said it will take part in the inauguration of the new Parliament building scheduled on May 28 in New Delhi.

TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu has instructed Rajya Sabha MP Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar to represent the party during the inauguration of the new Parliament building, a party statement said.

On receiving an invitation from the Lok Sabha Secretary General, TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu asked Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar to represent the party at the grand inauguration of the Parliament building by the Prime Minister Narendar Modi, on May 28, it said.

Currently, the TDP has one Rajya Sabha MP and three Lok Sabha MPs.
