Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's son Nara Lokesh on Thursday took oath as a member of the State Legislative Council, which was followed by chanting of hymns by Vedic scholars to bless him.
He was sworn-in in the Business Advisory Committee room in the legislature complex, apparently to enable the Vedic scholars to chant hymns after he was administered the oath.

Other newly-elected members, however, took oath in the Council hall.
