There are no new faces or women in the Kejriwal team
Seeking cooperation from the Centre to develop the national capital as world's best city and "forgiving" opponents for what they said during elections, Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday took oath as Delhi Chief Minister for the third time along with six Cabinet colleagues.
"Some people say Kejriwal is giving everything for free. Nature has ensured every valuable thing in the world is free, be it Mother's love, father's blessings or Shravan Kumar's dedication. So, Kejriwal loves his people and hence this love is free," says Arvind Kejriwal.
"I had sent an invitation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji for this event. He could not come maybe he is busy at some other event. But through this platform, I want to take blessings from PMji and central govt to develop Delhi and take it forward," he said.
