New Delhi, February 16: Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal will take oath as the Delhi Chief Minister for the third consecutive time on Sunday. The swearing-in ceremony of Arvind Kejriwal will take place at the iconic Ramlila Maidan. The AAP national convenor will be taking oath along with his cabinet at 10 am. Ministers who will take oath along with Kejriwal, include Manish Sisodia, Satyender Jain, Gopal Rai and Kailash Gehlot. The AAP retained power in the Delhi Assembly Elections 2020 by winning 62 of the 70 seats. Almost nine years ago, Kejriwal launched India Against Corruption movement along with Anna Hazare from Ramlila Maidan. In 2013 and 2015, the AAP leader’s oath-ceremony was held in the same venue.

Kejriwal has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the oath-taking ceremony. Besides PM Modi, the invitation has also been sent to seven Lok Sabha MPs from Delhi and all eight newly elected Bharatiya Janata Party (BPP) legislators. However, the Prime Minister is unlikely to attend as he will be visiting Varanasi, his Lok Sabha constituency, to inaugurate several projects. Delhi Assembly Elections Results 2020: Three Reasons Why Arvind Kejriwal's AAP Won Despite BJP Resurgence.
