BJP, Congress wish Delhi CM and his team, hope AAP Govt. fulfills all promises

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress on Saturday wished Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his team all luck in fulfilling the promises it had made to the people of the city.

"I wish good luck to Arvind Kejriwal and his team. People of Delhi have given them a big mandate with a lot of hope and aspirations. As a Delhiite myself, I certainly want to see all these promises that the Aam Aadmi Party has made are fulfilled over a period of time," BJP spokesperson G V L Narasimha Rao told ANI here.

"This is a big opportunity they have to serve the people of Delhi and to convert their own promises into reality and I think they should be given time to prove themselves," he added.

Congress leader Janardan Dwivedi said, "Our congratulations to the AAP. They have to first fulfill the promises made to the people. We want the promises that the AAP made to be fulfilled," he said.

Earlier, the AAP chief was administered the oath of office and secrecy by Delhi's Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung at the Ramlila Maidan which was attended by around one lakh people.

As the eighth chief minister of Delhi, Kejriwal at 46 is the youngest chief minister of Delhi.

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.

The Congress which was in power in Delhi for 15 years failed to even open its account in the polls.

The BJP, which was relying heavily on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popularity and had brought in former IPS officer Kiran Bedi as its chief ministerial candidate to counter Kejriwal, managed to secure just three seats.
