Kejriwal invites Modi for his swearing-in ceremony on Sunday

NEW DELHI: AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to his swearing-in ceremony scheduled to take place at the Ramlila Maidan on February 16, senior party leader Gopal Rai said on Friday.

Rai, the convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party's Delhi unit, said a letter was sent to the prime minister on Friday morning.

All seven Delhi MPs and eight newly elected BJP MLAs have also been invited for the oath-taking ceremony, Rai said.

No chief minister or political leaders from other states will be part of the event as it will be a "Delhi-specific" ceremony, Rai said on Thursday.

Kejriwal, through front-page advertisements in newspapers, has urged Delhiites to attend his oath-taking ceremony as he is set to become the chief minister of Delhi for the third consecutive term.

Kejriwal will take oath as Delhi Chief Minister along with his cabinet at Ramlila Maidan at 10 am on Sunday.
