ArvindKejriwal will use the metro to get to RamlilaMaidan for his swearing-in ceremony, along with the other elected members of his AamAadmi Party (AAP).
It was at the same venue that MrKejriwal became a nationally-recognised figure in 2011 when he flanked Gandhian Anna Hazare who fasted for 16 days to demand the new anti-corruption law that has just been cleared by parliament and births a national ombudsman or Lokpal,reports NDTV.
No VIPs, everyone is invited to swearing-in program.
After the oath-taking ceremonyas Delhi’s youngest chief minister, MrKejriwal and AAP legislators will head straight to work to hold their first cabinet meeting. They expect to work on Sunday as well.
His first big challenge is grappling with a 10% hike in CNG prices, announced on Thursday. Following his announcement, auto drivers in the city, who form a huge section of his supporters, have threatened a strike.
Later on Friday, MrKejriwalwill see if the hike can be reversed. If that's not feasible, he said, auto fares are likely to increase.
It was those principles and a declaration of war against corruption that gave AAP a magisterial debut, placing it second in the recent election.
