New Delhi: The new chief minister of Delhi along with the council of ministers is likely to take oath at the Ramlila Maidan on February 20.
The oath-taking ceremony is likely to be held around 4.30 pm on February 20.
The ceremony is expected to be attended by top BJP leaders, including chief ministers from the BJP-ruled states.
As per sources, the ceremony is expected to be attended by top BJP leaders, including chief ministers from the party-ruled states.
“The BJP Legislature Party meeting scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed. Now this meeting will be held on February 19. The swearing-in ceremony of the Chief Minister will also be held on February 20 instead of February 18,” sources said.
BJP has come to power in Delhi after 27 years. The BJP won 48 out of the 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly.
The party did not announce a chief ministerial face before the elections.
Meanwhile, Delhi’s caretaker Chief Minister and AAP leader Atishi has criticized the BJP for failing to announce its chief ministerial candidate even ten days after the election results.
“Ten days have passed since the results of the Delhi elections were declared. The people of Delhi had expected that the BJP would declare its CM face on the 9th, the swearing-in ceremony would take place on the 10th and then their work would begin. But the public kept waiting. Even after ten days, the BJP has not been able to decide on the CM. It has been proved that the BJP does not have a single CM candidate to run the Delhi government,” Atishi said.

She further claimed that the delay indicated a lack of trust in BJP’s MLAs. “Today, it is clear that the Prime Minister does not trust any of the 48 MLAs; none of them has the ability to run the government,” she added.
