Wish Kejriwal all support in his efforts for Delhi: Maken

Congress leader Ajay Maken on Saturday said Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had begun on a positive note, adding that he would be supported in all his efforts for Delhi.

"Kejriwal has begun well on a positive note. Wish him all the best and all support to him in his efforts FOR Delhi!" tweeted Maken.

Addressing the gathering at the Ramlila Maidan after his swearing-in ceremony, Kejriwal had lauded former union minister and senior Congress leader Ajay Maken for his long years of experience in government.

He added that he would approach Maken on how to take the city and its people forward.

Kejriwal had also described BJP leader Kiran Bedi as his elder sister and a person with huge administrative experience, saying he would not hesitate to seek her advice and guidance as and when required.

Earlier, the AAP chief was administered the oath of office and secrecy by Delhi's Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung.

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.
