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...

Seoul (AP): A South Korean fighter jet accidentally dropped eight bombs on a civilian area during training Thursday, reportedly injuring seven people.
The MK-82 bombs “abnormally” released by the KF-16 fighter jet fell outside a firing range, causing unspecified civilian damages, the air force said in a statement.
The air force said it will establish a committee to investigate why the accident happened and examine the scale of civilian damages. It said the fighter jet was taking part in the air force's joint live-firing drills with the army.
The air force apologized for causing civilian damages and expressed hopes for a speedy recovery of the injured people. It said it will actively offer compensation and other necessary steps for victims.
The air force statement didn't say where the accident happened. But South Korean media reported it occurred in Pocheon, a city close to the border with North Korea.
Yonhap news agency reported five civilians and two soldiers were injured. Yonhap said the conditions of two of the injured were serious but not life-threatening. It also said seven buildings were damaged.
