New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Founder  Arvind Kejriwal is all set to be Delhi’s Chief Minister after announcing that his party will form a government with Congress backing, on Monday December 23.
Acknowledging the view of the public, Kejriwal announced that an overwhelming majority in the capital had given their thumbs up to a AAP government with Congress support.
 
Kejriwal said, “Majority of the people wanted us to form the government, and now I am going to meet the Lt. Governor to inform him that AAP is ready to form the government in Delhi.”
 
On Monday, the Congress gave its “best wishes” to the AAP and asked it to fulfil the promises it made to the voters. A miffed BJP denounced the AAP decision, terming it a “betrayal of the people”.
 
Kejriwal, an engineer by qualification and a former Indian Revenue Service officer whose social activism won him the Ramon Magsaysay award, didn’t say who will be the new chief minister.
