Vasundhara Raje takes oath as Rajasthan Chief Minister
Jaipur, Dec 13: Vasundhara Raje Friday took oath as the chief minister of Rajasthan, five days after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) swept to power crushing the Congress.
60-year-old Raje, who belongs to the royal Scindia family of Gwalior and married in Rajasthan, has been elected to the state assembly thrice and five times to Lok Sabha.
Governor Margaret Alva administered the oath of office to Vasundhara Raje at the Rajasthan assembly complex in the presence of thousands of supporters and senior party leaders.
Raje became Rajasthan's first woman chief minister in 2003 when the "angrezi-speaking maharani", a phrase used by her critics to refer to her elitist and royal background, led BJP to its most famous victory in the predominantly rural state.
