 "Former prime minister Manmohan Singh takes oath as Rajya Sabha MP; Congress leaders Rahul, Sonia Gandhi present")
New Delhi: Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday took oath as a member of the Rajya Sabha.
The oath was administered by Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu.
Top Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Ahmed Patel and Anand Sharma were among those who were present during the oath-taking in the Chairman’s chamber.
Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot and some BJP leaders were also present.
Singh, 86, has come back as a member of the Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan. He was elected unopposed as the BJP did not put up a candidate against him.
Singh returned to the Rajya Sabha after a brief gap since his retirement from the Upper House on 14 June this year.
He had earlier represented the state of Assam in Rajya Sabha for a long period.
