Daniel Mookhey has become the first politician of Indian-origin to become the Treasurer in any Australian state.
Daniel Mookhey adopted the holy Bhagavad Gita as his pledge of devotion.
Chris Minns, the premier of New South Wales (NSW), and six other ministers were also sworn in at the ceremony.
He will replace Steve Vaughn for this post.
Earlier, in 2015, Mookhey was elected by the Labour to replace Steve Whan in the New South Wales upper, making him the state’s first politician of Indian background and the first to take the oath of allegiance on the Bhagavad Gita.
Mookhey's parents migrated from Punjab to Australia in 1973.
