A plethora of colours was visible in the Lok Sabha today with members, mostly those from southern India, sporting colourful stoles while those from the Samajwadi Party wearing their traditional red caps.

While members of Telangana Rashtra Samithi were wearing pink stoles, those from the TDP sported yellow ones.
