NEW DELHI: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who is undergoing treatment for kidney ailment, will take oath tomorrow for his new six years term in the Rajya Sabha.
The ceremony will take place in the chambers of Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu.
The 65-year old Jaitley was elected recently from Uttar Pradesh and will take oath at a special ceremony due to his health condition.
