AAP likely to hold first Cabinet meeting today

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is likely to hold its maiden Cabinet meeting on Monday, which was earlier to be held on February 14, the day Arvind Kejriwal was sworn-in as Delhi Chief Minister.

According to reports, the meeting was called off due to Kejriwal's ailing health.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders Jitender Singh Tomar, Gopal Rai, Satyendra Jain, took charge as cabinet ministers after party chief Arvind Kejriwal was sworn-in as the eighth Chief Minister of the national capital here on Saturday.

Party chief Arvind Kejriwal was administered the oath of office and secrecy by Delhi's Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung last week. Meanwhile, Manish Sisodia took charge as the deputy chief minister.

In an unprecedented first for the national capital, the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party won 67of the 70 seats on offer in the Delhi polls. With this extraordinary mandate, the AAP has become the first non-Congress and non-BJP party to rule the city.

This is Kejriwal's second term as the Chief Minister. He had resigned in February last year after running a 49-day-old government with the support of Congress.
