Arvind Kejriwal takes charge as Delhi Chief Minister

AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal was on Saturday sworn in as Delhi's chief minister by Lt Governor Najeeb Jung at the Ramlila Maidan along with six other ministers.

Tens of thousands of Aam Aadmi Party supporters who had gathered at the sprawling ground in the heart of the capital since morning cheered loudly and waved AAP flags as Kejriwal took the oath of office and secrecy.

Addressing thousands at the Ramlila Maidan after taking oath as chief minister, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader pressed the need to make Delhi a full state.

In his second stint as chief minister, the 46-year-old struck a pragmatic note, saying he will periodically consult leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress on ways to develop Delhi.
