Actor-turned-politician Ravi Kishan took oath as Member of Parliament from Gorakhpur constituency on Tuesday, the second day of the inaugural session of the 18th Lok Sabha.
After taking oath, Kishan said, "Baba Gorakhnath Maharaj ki jai", "Har Har Mahadev" which was joined by other MPs in the House. He also shouted "Jai Bhojpuri" before shaking hands with MP Faggan Singh Kulaste, who was presiding the Lower House at the time."
Thanking the BJP leadership, Kishan who defeated Samajwadi Party's Kajal Nishad by a margin of 103526 votes said, "It feels great. I want to thank PM Modi, CM Yogi and the people of Gorakhpur from the bottom of my heart."
"Bhojpuri community showed trust in me again and again and made me win by a good margin this time as well...Today by taking the oath, I have again pledged to serve the people...Since we have good numbers, our Speaker will win...," Kishan said speaking to after taking oath.
Earlier on Monday, BJP MP Ravi Kishan rejected the Opposition's charge and said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always respected the Constitution.
"PM Modi has always respected the Constitution. They won one time by lying but this lie (of changing the Constitution) will not work again. They will reach their original figure again," Ravi Kishan told.
He asked the Opposition MPs to be responsible in the parliament and avoid doing "mischief" like tearing bills, hooting or throwing papers.
"This time there is a strong Opposition. When bills come in the favour of the country, I hope they will not create obstacles in passing them. Their voters will also know that their chosen MP is doing concrete work and not destructive work," he said.
"PM Modi will complete the 5-year tenure excellently. Opposition should not do mischief like tearing bills, hooting or throwing papers and respect the Parliament with discipline. They should present their points and have a debate, but they should let the House run and not become an obstacle," he added.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Kishan emerged victorious against Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate Rambhual Nishad with a margin of 3,01,664 votes.
The Congress fought the polls in partnership with the Samajwadi Party in the state and had a seat-sharing agreement with each other. As per the seat agreement, Congress contested in 17 seats, and the Samajwadi Party contested in the remaining 63 seats in the electorally crucial state.
