New Delhi BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj took her oath as Member of Parliament on Monday in Sanskrit, carrying forward the legacy of her mother, former Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj who also took her oath in one of the oldest Indian languages, after planting a tree in her memory.

"Today, before taking oath by participating in the first session of the Parliament, I remembered mother Sushma Swaraj and planted a tree in her name," Swaraj shared while planting the tree under the 'ek ped ma k naam' campaign launched by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After her oath was administered, she also shared that she is committed to fulfilling the resolve of a developed, prosperous and self-reliant India. She also wore her mother's saree for the occasion.

The seven Delhi BJP MPs took the oath as Members of Parliament on Monday, the first day of the 18th Lok Sabha's first session. It was a big day for the parliamentarians as most of them, except three times North East Delhi BJP MP Manoj Tiwari, took oath for the first time.

After taking the oath, Chandni Chowk MP Khandelwal expressed his gratitude to all the voters and said, "I have taken the oath as a Member of Parliament with great pride and humility. I am grateful to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP leadership, and my constituency for giving me the opportunity to serve as a member of this largest temple of democracy."

South Delhi BJP MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri bowed his head before entering the Parliament premises on the first day of the first session of the Lok Sabha. "I entered the temple of democracy with my head bowed. I am very grateful to the respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP National President JP Nadda and Home Minister Amit Shah, along with the entire public of South Delhi, for bringing these unforgettable moments in my life!," he said. He wore a white kurta and vest for the ceremony.
