New Delhi: Kejriwal had on Wednesday reiterated that he will provide 700 litres of free water to each
household within 24 hours of taking oath along with his Cabinet ministers on December 28. Now all eyes
are on Chief Minister designate Arvind Kejriwal.
Whether he would be able to deliver his promise to provide 700 liters of free water, cheap electricity
bills, order probe against some Congress leaders allegedly involved in corruption among other things he
mentioned in the party manifesto.
Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are keeping a close watch on every move of Kejriwal
and would certainly not spare any moment to criticize his party if any of the promises made during
election campaign remain unfulfilled.
Congress has also set a three-month deadline for AAP to deliver its agendas, which the latter had
promised before Delhi Assembly elections. The Congress yesterday scotched speculation that it was
having second thoughts on giving support to the AAP, removing what initially looked like the last of the
hurdles vis-à-vis government formation.
Kejriwal, who tapped into public anger to take the AAP to the corridors of power, will take oath on
Saturday as Delhi’s seventh chief minister, with his party promising to “completely overhaul” the system.
The swearing-in ceremony will be held at the Ramlila Maidan, where Anna Hazare fasted for 12 days for
Jan Lokpal Bill with Kejriwal as one of his aides.
