- Vinod Khanna of the BJP won his seat from Gurdaspur for the 5th time. I have hardly ever heard about him in national political news.
- Amrinder Singh of INC who is former Chief Minister of Punjab won his seat from Amritsar defeating BJP bigshot Arun Jaitely. Personally, I wanted badly for Jaitely to loose. Maybe because of his arrogance I had always seen on TV as well as in his writings. Ironically, even after losing, he is now the Finance Minister. This is democracy!

Mrs. Hema Gomang, earlier Congress M L A and wife of the former Congress Chief Minister of Odisha, had left Congress just before the Elections and had joined BJD. She has lost. The antics of this couple is a source of entertainment in Odisha.
Juel Oram has been taken as a Minister with Cabinet rank. Dharmendra Pradhan of Odisha, who was in charge of BJP election campaign in Bihar, also has been taken as a Minister of State with independent charge. Although he belongs to Odisha, he had been nominated to contest for one of the Rajya Sabha seats from Bihar and won.
Mrs Hema Gamang is the wife of Mr. Giridhari Gomang.
wowww ... those are cool facts which I didnt knew ... great to get such inputs :)
There is another interesting fact.
It was the same Giridhari Gomang whose single vote led to the fall of the Vajapayee Govt. in 1999. He was an M P then and was foisted by Sonia Gandhi as the CM of Odisha without being an MLA. He continued to be an MP. Jayalalyhaa conspired with Sonia Gandhi and a brought a No Confidence Motion. Giridhari Gomang arrived just when voting on the No Confidence Motion was being concluded in the Lok Sabha. He voted for the motion and the Vajapayee Govt. lost by a single vote.
Sonia Gandhi tried her best to form an alternative Govt. but failed to muster a majority. Fresh elections were called, NDA led by Vajapeyee won a clear majority and formed another Govt. which remained in office till 2004.
This fact I knew ... that NDA lost majority just by one vote because of him :)
