Be it BJP or Congress, I am everyone's CM: Kejriwal

February 16, 2020 13:38

Arvind Kejriwal, who took oath as Delhi chief minister for the third successive time on Sunday, said he is everyone's leader, irrespective of their party affiliation.

"In elections, some voted for the AAP, while some for the BJP and the Congress.... but today when I took oath as chief minister of Delhi, I am chief minister for all. I am AAP's chief minister, BJP's chief minister and Congress chief minister and other parties as well," said Kejriwal here at Ramlila Maidan.

"Party affiliation never stopped me from working for everyone," he said.

Kejriwal said he wants to work in coordination with the Centre and also sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi's blessings for smooth governance of the national capital.

Kejriwal said as the elections are over, the politics is also over and he has "forgiven" his opponents for the remarks they made during the poll campaign.

Referring himself as Delhi's "son", he said this is not his victory but of every single Delhiite.

"We want to seek Prime Minister Narendra Modi's blessing for smooth governance of Delhi," Kejriwal said in his address at the Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi after taking oath.

In his earlier tenure, the AAP supremo had several run-ins with the Centre.

"Your son has taken oath for the third time as the Delhi chief minister. This is not my victory but yours," Kejriwal.

Kejriwal said he did not give step-motherly treatment to anyone and has worked for all in the last five years. -- ANI, PTI
