The AAP has invited PM Modi and
his cabinet for the oath taking ceremony of Arvind Kejriwal as the 8th CM of
New Delhi; the ceremony will be held on 14th of this month.
"We want to invite the prime
minister, all union ministers and Delhi MPs," said Manish Sisodiya.
PM Modi has given Arvind Kejriwal
an appointment at 10:30 AM tomorrow. During the meeting, the CM designate will
formally invite the PM to the ceremony, which will be held at the historical
Ramlila Maidan. Mr Kejriwal took his oath of Chief Ministership at the same
venue on the previous occasion as well.
The chances of the PM going to
the ceremony are not very bright as he has a packed schedule over the weekend;
he is flying out to Maharashtra early on the Sunday morning.
"Our biggest invitation is
to the people. Every citizen is becoming chief minister," Manish Sisodia
said. Since getting a historic mandate yesterday, Kejriwal is urging the people
of Delhi to come to his swearing-in ceremony.
Kiran Bedi, the CM candidate of
BJP, who lost even her own constituency is also among the invitees, and so in
Anna Hazare. The anti-corruption crusader and Kejriwal's patron Hazare did not
attend his previous oath ceremony in 2013.
It will, most definitely, be a
tough task for the Delhi Police to oversee the occasion as the capacity of
Ramlila Maidan is just one lakh and the attendance is expected to be much more
than that.
