First Look: Priya Dutt takes oath

November 24, 2005

Priya Dutt, daughter of late former Union Minister and cine star Sunil Dutt, on Thursday took oath as member of Lok Sabha.

Dutt was on Tuesday elected from the Mumbai North-West Parliamentary constituency in Maharashtra, which was earlier represented by her father for several years.

Dutt defeated Madhukar Sarpotdar of the Shiv Sena by 172,043 votes.

Her victory was seen as an appreciation of Sunil Dutt's good work. He held the seat five times.
