Cutting across party lines, it was an unusual gathering of 15 Members of Parliament. Amar Singh, Jaya Bhaduri [Samajwadi Party], Ravishanker Prasad, Manvendra Singh [Bhartiya Janata Party], and many Congress MPs took part in a discussion on initiatives to tackle malnutrition at a conference organised by GAIN ( Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition ) in New Delhi on Wednesday.
There were seven candidates in the fray for the six seats.
Amid a plethora of senior party leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party president Amit Shah, Bharatiya Janata Party's Devendra Fadnavis took the oath of office at a mega function organised at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
He secured required 44 votes after votes of two Congress MLAs who cross-voted for BJP were rejected by EC.
