New Delhi, Feb 15 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is expecting around one lakh people at Arvind Kejriwal's swearing-in ceremony at the Ramlila Maidan, here on Sunday, as the Delhi Chief Minister for third time.
Speaking to IANS, Gopal Rai said around one lakh people were expected at the ceremony. They would be allowed in from six gates -- 4,5,6,7,8 and 9, he added.
According to senior officials, around 5,000 police personnel, 125 CCTV cameras, 12 LED screens and 45,000 chairs will be there. There would be enough space for people to stand and watch the event, the official said.
"Kejriwal is loved by all the people in the city. The mandate proves that. We have invited the entire city for the event," Rai said. Kejriwal will be taking oath at the Ramlila Maidan for the third time.
Kejriwal has also invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seven Lok Sabha MPs from Delhi and all eight newly elected BJP legislators. The AAP has also invited all the municipal councillors of Delhi. The new cabinet is also expected to be sworn in at 10 a.m.
