Shivani Raja, a 29-year-old British MP of Indian descent, took oath on the Bhagavad Gita in the UK Parliament, marking a historic moment. Raja, a Conservative Party member, won the Leicester East seat in a surprise victory, defeating Labour Party's Rajesh Aggarwal. This win ended Labour's 37-year stronghold on the constituency. Raja's achievement is being hailed as a milestone, making her the first Tory to represent Leicester East in nearly four decades. Her oath-taking ceremony on the Bhagavad Gita, a Hindu scripture, symbolizes her cultural heritage.
