M Venkaiah Naidu on Friday took oath as India's new Vice President. Nominated by the ruling BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, he won the vice presidential poll on August 5.

The swearing-in ceremony was held in the Durbar Hall of Rashtrapati Bhawan in New Delhi. Dressed in spotless white shirt, while gold-embroidered uttareeyam and quintessentially Telugu panche, Venkaiah Naidu took the oath. Earlier Naidu, 68, paid floral tribute to Mahatma Gandhi at the Rajghat. He also paid tributes to Jan Sangh leader Deendayal Upadhyaya, besides Sardar Vallabhai Patel and Babasaheb B.R. Ambedkar.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several ministers greeted him on the occasion.
