Bhajanlal Sharma has taken oath as the 14th Chief Minister of Rajasthan today (December 15). Along with him, two Deputy CMs Diya Kumari and Dr. Premchand Bairwa have also taken oath. A grand celebration was organized at Ramniwas Bagh in front of Albert Hall. PM Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, JP Nadda, and CMs of BJP-ruled states attended the oath ceremony.
Governor Kalraj Mishra administered the oath of office and secrecy to all three. Now after getting the green signal from the central leadership, the members of Bhajan Lal’s cabinet will be appointed, after which departments will be distributed to everyone.
Three stages were prepared at the venue, on one stage the saints and sages from all over the country were seated, while on the other stage all the political leaders were seated. The third stage was made for the oath, on which Prime Minister Modi, the Governor and the three leaders who took the oath were sitting. Prime Minister Modi reached the stage of the saints and saluted all.
Ashok Gehlot also arrived at the oath ceremony. He reached Albert Hall about half an hour before the swearing-in ceremony began. He was sitting with Union ministers Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and Vasundhara Raje. All three kept laughing and joking for a long time. Two days ago, it was decided to file a defamation case against Gehlot on the petition of Gajendra Singh.
