While Congress president Rahul Gandhi is attending all the three events, including the one in Chhattisgarh for chief minister designate Bhupesh Baghel, other prominent opposition leaders who attend the events. Chhattisgarh chief minister designate Bhupesh Baghel was sworn-in, after the ceremony had been delayed due to rainfall in capital Raipur.

The leaders include former prime minister HD Devegowda and Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu also attended the events along with Bihar opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav.
