New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal will take oath as Delhi chief minister at 12.15 p.m. here on Sunday at historic Ramlila Maidan. People have started pouring in for the gala event.
Kejriwal’s cabinet, which includes Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, Gopal Rai, Kailash Gehlot, Imran Hussain and Rajendra Gautam, will also take oath with him.
Kejriwal has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the seven BJP MPs of Delhi and all councillors for the swearing in ceremony. The one-year-old baby mufflerman Avyaan Tomar has also been invited for the event.
Elaborate arrangements have been made for the oath taking ceremony. About 5000 policemen have been deployed around Ramlila Maidan to maintain law and order.
