Gajendra Yadav from Durg division, Guru Khushwant Saheb from Raipur division, and Rajesh Agarwal from Sarguja division took the oath of office and secrecy. Gajendra Yadav was the first to take the oath, adding his father’s name to his own. Following him, Guru Khushwant Saheb, MLA from Arang, took the oath.
