Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar took oath as a member of the Rajya Sabha. He took the oath in the chamber of the Rajya sabha chairman Hamid Ansari. He became the first active sportsperson of the country to be nominated as the Rajya Sabha member.
In a surprising move, Govrnment had recommended Sachin’s name along with Bollywood actress Rekha and businesswoman Anu Aga as the nominated member of the Rajya Sabha. Meanwhile, Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that his senior team-mate Sachin Tendulkar will make a contribution as a Rajya Sabha member also. “this (Rajya Sabha) is a new avenue for him and I aam sure he will do well and contribute there also,” Dhoni had told.
World chess champion Viswanathan Anand also said that Sachin Tendulkar serving as Rajya sabha member would be a big step in his life and wished the cricket legend to enjoy his new role. “I hope he (Tendulkar) enjoys his role and he is able to do it very well. It’ s a big step for him and I think he will enjoy it,” Anand said. Now it’s the time for cricket legend Sachin to make an impact on the political world.
