Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), or Common Man's party, was sworn in as Delhi's chief minister on Saturday. His party was created over a year ago and won 28 out of 70 seats in the assembly, ousting the long-established Congress party which won merely 8 seats. The symbol of the AAP - the broom - stands for the party's aim to sweep away the corruption in politics. As Chief Minister, Kejriwal promises to supply each family in Delhi with 700 liters of free water per day and reduce the cost of electricity in half.
