AAP To Form Govt In Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal To Take Oath As Delhi CM

The announcement in this regard was made shortly after the AAP's political affairs committee met to discuss the results of the public referendum on whether or not to take Congress support in forming government in Delhi.

Meanwhile, a training session of AAP's newly-elected MLAs is being held at the Constitution Club, where Kejriwal is also likely to come in a short while.

Former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit also extended her good wishes to Kejriwal and expressed hope that AAP will deliver what it promised. Noted social activist Anna Hazare also extended his blessings to Arvind Kejriwal – once his close aide.

Reacting to the development, BJP's CM candidate Harsh Vardhan said, “AAP move to form government with Congress support is compromise of its principles and betrayal of people's verdict. This has cemented our assertions that AAP is Congress' B team.”

Kejriwal had on Sunday said that “a major announcement” would be made.

As the party’s campaign to elicit a 'yes' or 'no' from people in the capital on government formation concluded, the AAP said that most voters favoured an AAP government.

“Majority of the feedback we have received is 'yes',” spokesperson Ashwathi Muralidharan told reporters.

The party has got responses from over 6.5 lakh people through SMS, interactive voice response (IVR), Facebook and the AAP web site, she said.

Separately, AAP held public meetings in some 270 municipal wards across Delhi where too most people rooted for an AAP government by raising their hands.
