Pro-tem speaker Ramapati Shastri administered the oath to the newly elected members. After the two bigwigs, senior BJP MLA Satish Mahana took oath. Deputy Chief Minister Brijesh Pathak was next to do so.
Before occupying his seat, Adityanath went to the opposition side and greeted Yadav and other members.
