“Party affiliation never stopped me from working for everyone,” he said.
‘Delhi my family, will work for everyone’
“Elections are over, it does not matter who you voted for, now all Delhiites are my family. I will work for everyone, be it from any party, any religion, caste or strata of society,” said Kejriwal addressing a massive gathering at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan.
Dedicating his massive victory in the Assembly polls to people of Delhi, Kejriwal said; “This is not my win, this is the victory of every Delhiite, of every family. In the last five years, our only effort has been to bring happiness and relief to the life of every Delhiite.
Kejriwal, 6 ministers take oath
Kejriwal was on Sunday sworn-in as the Chief Minister of Delhi for the third time in a row at Ramlila Maidan here, after his party registered a massive victory in the recently concluded Delhi Assembly polls.
Kejriwal was administered the oath of office and secrecy by Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal.
The AAP nearly repeated its 2015 performance in the elections, sweeping the Assembly polls winning 62 seats in the 70-member Assembly, in the face of a high-voltage campaign by the BJP, which fielded a battery of Union Ministers and Chief Ministers in its electioneering spearheaded by Home Minister Amit Shah.
