Delhi's chief minister designate Arvind Kejriwal, who is determined to end the ubiquitous 'VIP culture', will take the Delhi Metro on Saturday to reach Ramlila Maidan to take his oath.
Manish Sisodia, a party leader mentioned that Kejriwal had told his six proposed ministers to also use the public transport to reach Ramlila Maidan, a sprawling ground in the heart of Delhi and added that they are using public transport to bring an end to the VIP culture. Somnath Bharti stated that they have not stitched special dresses for the event. There are going to be normal and added that None of our family members will have special seats, not even the MLAs.
Kejriwal said that many people are asking him for passes for the oath ceremony. No passes needed. All are welcome. It's your programme. Kejriwal has already refused to accept security from Delhi and Uttar Pradesh Police -- he lives in Ghaziabad district neighbouring Delhi -- and refused to use official vehicles with red beacons. The AAP, which stunned everyone by bagging 28 of the 70 seats in the Delhi election, just three seats behind the BJP, is expecting thousands of people to throng the Ramlila Maidan on Saturday. Delhi Police sources said some 25,000 chairs had been provided at the ground, which can also reportedly accommodate around 50,000 more people if they stand.
