NEW DELHI: Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday took oath as Delhi’s Chief Minister for the third consecutive term. Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal administered the oath of office to Kejriwal. Along with the Aam Aadmi Party National Convener, six MLAs — Manish Sisodia, Satyendra Jain, Gopal Rai, Kailash Gahlot, Imran Hussain and Rajendra Pal Gautam — also took oath as Cabinet Ministers. These ministers retained their Cabinet seats from the last government.
Kejriwal, during the oath ceremony, said he wanted to work in harmony with the BJP-led Central government to make Delhi the number one city the country and sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cooperation for smooth governance in the Capital. The Delhi CM, earlier, had invited PM Modi for the ceremony but Modi could not attend it reportedly due to his prior engagement in Varanasi.
