New Delhi: The presence of political figures and senior bureaucrats in the swearing-in ceremony of a chief minister is not something new, however, Arvind Kejriwal's oath-taking function on Sunday will witness as many as 50 non-VIPs, including sanitation workers, auto-rickshaw, bus and metro train drivers, and school peons who will share dais with the AAP chief. Kejriwal will take oath today as Delhi's CM for the third straight time at Ramlila Maidan, situated in the heart of the capital.
However, the invitation to 50 people representing several sections of society including those who are considered as marginalised, is said to be an unprecedented one. "These people represent those who are the real makers of Delhi's destiny. It includes peon in schools, doctors of Mohalla clinics, autorickshaw, bus and ambulance drivers, sanitation workers, marshals of buses, teachers, headmasters, sanitation workers and others," AAP leader Manish Sisodia said.
