NEW DELHI, Feb 16 - Setting his government�s road map for the next five years after being sworn in as chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi�s �blessings� for fast paced development of the national capital and asserted that people may have voted for different parties, but he is the �chief minister of all�.
Kejriwal and his cabinet colleagues Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, Gopal Rai, Imran Hussain, Rajendra Pal Gautam and Kailash Gahlot were administered the oath of office and secrecy by Lt Governor Anil Baijal at the historic Ramlila Maidan that was a sea of Tricolour with a large number of people and party supporters turning up for the event.
Striking a conciliatory political tone, the 51-year-old bureaucrat-turned-politician sought cooperation from his rivals BJP and Congress in making Delhi the �number one city�, saying he has �forgiven� them for the remarks against him during the high-octane poll campaign.
�I want to work together with all the parties for the development of Delhi. I want to work together with the central government to make Delhi a world-class city,� the chief minister said. � PTI
