Soren, who met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah earlier in the day, said that he has urged them to attend the oath-taking ceremony of the new government.

Kejriwal congratulated Soren and his wife for fighting and winning a "fabulous" election in Jharkhand.

"The way he struggled and contested the elections, being jailed and then coming back before the elections is highly inspiring for all of us," he said.

"All of us will attend his oath ceremony day after tomorrow. I will pray to the almighty for auspicious five years for him and that he continues the Vikas Yatra of Jharkhand like he did earlier," Kejriwal said after the meeting at his residence here.

Soren said that he also met his friends from the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) parties and invited them for the oath ceremony.
