New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been sworn in as the Member of Parliament from Rae Bareli. Rahul Gandhi was seen smiling with a copy of the Constituion in his hand. After his oath he raised slogans of Jai Bhim and Jai Samvidhan.
As Rahul’s name was called for taking the oath, some MPs from the treasury benches raised slogans of Jai Shree Ram while the opposition MPs showed the Constitution.
Rahul Gandhi had won both the constituencies he contested in by a margin of over 3 lakh votes.
In the traditional Congress bastion of Rae Bareli, the Congress leader had defeated BJP's Dinesh Pratap Singh, by a huge margin of 3,89,341 votes.
In Wayanad, Gandhi had defeated Communist Party of India's (CPI) Annie Raja by a margin of 3,64,422 votes.
Later Rahul Gandhi had retained Rae Bareli and resigned from the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency and his sister Priyanka Gandhi is likely to contest from this seat. If elected this would be her first stint as an MP.
I, Rahul Gandhi...

J&K: One dead, seven hospitalised after consuming wild vegetable in Rajouri
Rajouri/Jammu (PTI): One person died while seven others, mostly children, were hospitalised after allegedly consuming a wild vegetable in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district, officials said on Saturday.
The incident was reported from Mohra village in the Kotranka subdivision, where members of two families consumed a wild vegetable following which they started showing symptoms of food poisoning on Friday evening, they said.
The affected persons were initially shifted to the Community Health Centre in Kandi and later referred to the Government Medical College Hospital Rajouri for specialised treatment.
Officials said an elderly man, identified as Mohammad Hussain (60), died during treatment, while seven other members of the two families are undergoing treatment at the hospital.
“Prima facie, it is a case of food poisoning, but the matter is still under investigation,” a doctor said.
Officials said an investigation into the incident has been initiated to determine the exact cause of the poisoning.
