British MP Shivani Raja, originally from Gujarat, took oath with Shrimad Bhagwat Gita in her hand

Keir Starmer's Labor Party has won a landslide victory in the UK general election. The Labor Party has returned to power after being in opposition for 14 years. Gujarati-origin Shivani Raja was much talked about in this election. Shivani Raja has won a historic victory for the Conservative Party on the Leicester East seat. The Labor Party's 37-year dominance on this seat has collapsed. She contested the election against Rajesh Agarwal of Indian origin. Shivani Raja took oath in the UK Parliament with the Gita in her hand.

After taking oath as a British MP, Shivani Raja shared a post on the micro-blogging site X and wrote that it is an honor to take oath to represent Leicester East in Parliament. I am really proud of Geeta for pledging her allegiance to His Majesty King Charles. Shivani's victory is important in the current history of Leicester City. Because in 2022, there was a conflict between the Indian Hindu community and Muslims after the India vs Pakistan T20 Asia Cup match. Talking about Shivani, Shivani Raja's family is originally from Diu.

Shivani Raja got 14526 votes in the election. She defeated former Deputy Mayor of London Rajesh Aggarwal. Who got 10100 votes. This victory was also important because Leicester East has been a stronghold of the Labour Party since 1987. Shivani's victory gave the Tories a seat in the constituency for the first time in 37 years.

Apart from Shivani Raja, 27 other MPs of Indian origin have been elected to the House of Commons in the general elections held on 4 July in Britain. Amidst all this, hundreds of newly elected MPs reached the Parliament enthusiastically after the Labour Party came to power in the UK elections. The new House of Commons has the highest number of women elected so far, 263. Which is about 40 percent of the total number, in which the highest number of 90 black MPs are there.

Let us tell you here that Keir Starmer has become the new Prime Minister of Britain. He is committed to rebuilding Britain. The Labor Party won 412 seats in the 650-member House of Commons. Which is 211 seats more than the 2019 election. Whereas Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party has won only 121 seats, i.e. 250 seats less than the last election. The vote share of the Labor Party was 33.7 percent while the vote share of the Conservative Party was 23.7 percent.
