Arvind Kejriwal arrives at Ramlila Maidan, to take oath as Delhi CM

Arvind Kejriwal arrives at Ramlila Maidan, where thousands have gathered to witness him, who led his Aam Aadmi Party to another stunning victory in the assembly elections, take oath as the chief minister of Delhi for the third time in a row.

The AAP romped to a magnificent victory in the Delhi Assembly election, in which the party won a thumping majority of 62 seats in the 70-member Delhi assembly for the second time since 2015. The Bharatiya Janata Party got the rest of the eight seats.

Apart from Arvind Kejriwal, six of his party leaders will also take oath as part of his cabinet. Kejriwal is likely to retain all the six ministers who served his government in the previous term Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, Imran Hussain, Gopal Rai, Rajendra Gautam and Kailash Gehlot.

Kejriwal hosted a dinner meeting for his cabinet colleagues to discuss the roadmap for the future “development of the national capital” as well as the initiatives to be implemented by the party in the first three months of the government’s term.

Kejriwal and several of his party member through from-page advertisements in newspapers and tweets have urged the people of the city to witness “the son of Delhi” taking oath on Sunday.

He has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seven lawmakers of the Bharatiya Janata Party who represent the city and all the eight of its newly-elected members of legislative assembly to his swearing-in ceremony. The Prime Minister, who is scheduled to visit his parliamentary constituency Varanasi, is unlikely to attend the ceremony.A group of 50 commoners will be sharing the stage with him under the banner of “Dilli ke Nirmata” or the architects of Delhi.
