It is a day that will make it to history books as Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal, a political novice becomes Delhi's youngest chief minister.
Updated : Dec 29, 2013, 05:00 AM IST
In Delhi huge crowds of people gathered at the Ramlila Maidan to watch Arvind Kejriwal being sworn in as the seventh chief minister of Delhi.
After a lot of confusion due to the hung verdict in Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party has stepped up with support from the Congress to form a government in Delhi.
As the youngest CM of Delhi, a political novice and the leader of a minority government, Kejriwal faces many challenges. But the new Delhi CM looks set to prove everyone wrong like he did in the polls where he managed to defeat Shiela Dikshit in a constituency from which she won multiple times.
