Following the recent assembly elections in Delhi where the ruling party was routed, 45-year old Mr. Arvind Kejriwal of AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) is all set to take over as the 7th Chief Minister of Delhi.
The Delhi State Legislative Assembly had come into being on March 7, 1952. However, the Delhi state ceased to exist from 1956 to 1993 and became a Union Territory and governed under President`s Rule. When elections were again held in 1993, BJP took the reign with Madan Lal Khurana as the Chief Minister.Between 1998 and 2013, Dikshit became Chief Minister thrice with Congress forming the government each time.
In the recent elections, BJP has emerged as the single largest party in Delhi Assembly polls with 31 seats but fell short of a majority, and declined to form a government.Following this Lt Governor Najeeb Jung had invited AAP, the second largest party with 28 MLAs, for discussions on government formation.
