| On the first day of the 16th Lok Sabha, the changed seating arrangements reflected the altered power dynamics in the House. The newly-elected MPs greeted each other and later, stood in a shared moment of silence as a tribute to union rural development minister Gopinath Munde, who died in a road accident yesterday. The House was adjourned after the obituary reference. Here are 10 Interesting Facts about the new Lok Sabha:1.Former union Minister Kamal Nath, who is the most senior member of the Lok Sabha, was earlier elected as the Pro-Tem Speaker. The adjournment of the House after paying tributes to Mr Munde has created a piquant situation. The other members will be sworn in tomorrow. It means that Mr Nath, 67, will be the only member of the Lok Sabha for the next 24 hours. (Kamal Nath Appointed Protem Speaker of Lok Sabha)
2.Senior BJP leader and former union minister Sumitra Mahajan is likely to be elected as the full-time Speaker of the Lok Sabha on Friday. After Meira Kumar, she will be the second woman lawmaker to hold the post. She also holds the distinction of being the woman lawmaker with the longest parliamentary experience. She has been a member of the Lok Sabha without a break since 1989. (Sumitra Mahajan Set To Be Next Speaker of Lok Sabha: Sources)
3.When the Lok Sabha met today to pay homage to Mr Munde, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, 63, was seen sitting in the corner of the first row of the treasury benches. It was the first time he had entered the Lok Sabha. Clad in an off-white, cream-colored Kurta, Mr Modi walked into the House amidst a loud thumping of benches by the NDA members. He was followed closely by BJP veteran L K Advani. (For Gopinath Munde's Funeral, A Sea of People in Beed)
4.Before taking his seat, Mr Modi went around the well of the Lok Sabha. As he reached the Congress benches, Congress president Sonia Gandhi walked into the House through the aisle. They greeted each other with folded hands.
