As the nation glued to their television screens on Thursday evening to witness the oath taking ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his cabinet ministers, 64-year-old Pratap Chandra Sarangi, who is a first-time MP from Balasore in Odisha, stole limelight with his unkempt hair, beard, a very simple persona and a huge round of applause from 6,000 people.
