Sanskrit oaths resonate in Chhattisgarh assembly
Four tribal legislators, including three from the tribal Bastar region, are among the half-dozen legislators who took their oath as MLAs in Sanskrit on the first day of the inaugural session of the 90-member House, while several others pledged in Hindi and the local Chhattisgarhi dialect. While five BJP legislators took their oath in Sanskrit, one Congress MLA also opted to take the pledge in Sanskrit. Two former ministers, Kedar Kashyap and Lata Usendi, who won the election from Narayanpur (ST) and Kondagaon (ST) in the tribal Bastar region, respectively, took their oaths in Sanskrit.
