West Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress on Monday regretted that the State’s tableau was not allowed to take part in the 66th Republic Day parade in New Delhi.
“Bengal tableaux for Republic Day, depicting path-breaking ‘Kanyashree’ initiative, was not allowed. We repeatedly requested...Life goes on,” tweeted Trinamool Rajya Sabha chief whip Derek O’Brien.
U.S. President Barack Obama was the chief guest at the colourful parade where tableaux depicting the Narendra Modi government’s new initiatives found prominent place.
