Arvind Kejriwal still down with fever, to take oath as Delhi CM at 2 pm tomorrow

New Delhi: With only a day left for the oath-taking ceremony, Delhi's chief ministerial-designate Arvind Kejriwal is still unwell, according to party sources. Kejriwal has been down with fever for the last four days.

Meanwhile, the preparations at Ramlila Maidan for Kejriwal's swearing-in ceremony are underway. Seating arrangements for nearly 40,000 people have been made. Security has also been beefed up in and around the venue along with the installation of 40 CCTV cameras.

He met President Pranab Mukherjee, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Ministers Rajnath Singh and Venkaiah Naidu over the past two days. An AAP leader said, a couple of meetings have been lined up for Kejriwal, but it will take place depending upon his health.

"He has been down with fever for the last four days. Even today after he came back, it was difficult for him to sit, so we had to cancel all the scheduled meetings," an AAP leader said.

The AAP chief also has a sore throat, which often aggravates during winter. Even during the campaigning, he had to suspend his jansabhas due to it. Kejriwal is also a diabetic. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not be attending the oath-taking ceremony due to some prior commitments.

It is being reported that the first Cabinet meeting will take place at 4:30 p.m. at the Delhi Secretariat on Saturday. It is being reported that a list of Cabinet Ministers has been forwarded to the Lieutenant Governor. Manish Sisodia Gopal Rai, Badana Kumari, Jitendra Tomar, Sandeep Kumar, Saryendra Jain and Asim Ahmed are likely to be included.
