Shatrughan Sinha and Sunny Deol
New Delhi: BJP’s Mohan Mandavi and Bhagirath Chaudhary were the two members in the 17th Lok Sabha who achieved the distinction of 100 per cent attendance in a total of 274 sittings during the five-year period. It would be a coincidence that these two members, who reached the Lok Sabha for the first time, were allotted seats next to each other in the House.
