Arvind Kejriwal's swearing-in ceremony: 10 interesting things you should know

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 14 Februari 2015 | 22.14

NEW DELHI: Arvind Kejriwal was on Saturday sworn in as Delhi's chief minister by lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung at the Ramlila Maidan along with six 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.
Here are the 10 interesting things you should know about Kejriwal's oath-taking ceremony:

1. Travels in a car

Unlike last time when he travelled in Metro to reach the Ramlila Maidan, Kejriwal this time arrived in a car at the venue.

2. No visit to Rajghat

Unlike 2013, Kejriwal did not stop by at Rajghat on his way to the secretariat after the ceremony. He said that he was not keeping well.

3. Kejriwal sings 'Insaan ka insaan se ho bhaichara'

After giving his speech, Kejriwal sang the song: "Insaan ka insaan se ho bhaichara". Last time too, he had sung the same song. Manna Dey had sung this song in movie "Paigam".

Kejriwal ended his speech with "Vande Mataram".

4. 'AAP' cola makes debut

People were seen sipping 'AAP' branded soft drinks being distributed at Ramlila Maidan.

5. BJP, Congress's presence minimal

BJP and Congress leaders were conspicuous by their absence at the Ramlila Maidan. Kejriwal had invited PM Narendra Modi to attend his swearing-in ceremony. But, the PM had expressed his inability due to prior commitments.

6. Six others take oath

Along with Kejriwal, six ministers - Manish Sisodia, Satyendra Jain, Gopal Rai, Asim Mohammad Khan, Sandeep Kumar and Jitendra Singh Tomar - were also sworn in.

7. Kejriwal wishes Indian cricket team luck for World Cup

Kejriwal wished the Indian cricket team luck and expressed optimism that the defending champions would retain the cricket World Cup title they won in 2011.

"I wish the Indian team good luck and I am confident that they will bring back the Cup home," Kejriwal said at Ramlila Maidan.

India begin their campaign in the tournament with a high-voltage clash against arch-rivals Pakistan in Adelaide tomorrow.

The World Cup kicked off today with a double header in Christchurch and Melbourne.

8. Kejriwal wants AAP to focus on Delhi

"I have been hearing on television that people are saying we will fight the elections here and there. I think that is not right. It shows ego. Why were the Congress and the BJP defeated? It was because of their arrogance," he added.

"Last year, we had 28 seats, but maybe somewhere we also became arrogant and decided to fight the Lok Sabha elections. We should learn from it now. The people of Delhi have trusted me. I will live in Delhi for five years and try to fulfill my responsibility with all my might," he further added.

9. Kejriwal says he wants to end VIP culture in Delhi

"We want to stop this VIP culture. Do you like it when a minister is travelling and roads are blocked and traffic jammed for an hour?

"I came to know in European countries, prime ministers are seen standing at bus stops. We need such type of culture. It will take time. But we will do it," Kejriwal said, addressing thousands of AAP supporters at the sprawling Ramlila Maidan after taking oath as Delhi's chief minister.

10. Will make Delhi corruption-free in five years, Kejriwal says

Speaking to tens and thousands of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supporters at the Ramlila Maidan where he along with six others were sworn in, Kejriwal said: "I remember, during Anna (Hazare) agitation we asked for a corruption-free India. Even our opposition agreed that during our 49 days rule, we were able to end corruption in Delhi.

"Now, we are much more confident. We will make Delhi India's first corruption free state," Kejriwal said to thunderous applause.
