President Droupadi Murmu administered oath to Radhakrishnan (67) at a brief ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhawan, which was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several Union ministers. Dressed in a red kurta, Radhakrishnan took oath in English in the name of god.
Murmu congratulated him after he took oath. Radhakrishnan succeeds Jagdeep Dhankhar, who suddenly resigned from the post July 21 citing health reasons, necessitating an election.
Radhakrishanan won the vice-presidential election Tuesday, defeating joint Opposition candidate B Sudershan Reddy by a margin of 152 votes.
