01:07 PM:
Guess which Kejriwal comment got the loudest cheer? The one about Kiran Bedi being a good person, and a sister to him.
We are not very surprised.
01:05 PM:
The ONE thing we were dreading about Kejriwal’s swearing-in as CM. Good God.
OH NO! Kejri singing again. Makeitstopmakeitstop! #Kejrispeaks and #Kejrisings AGAIN. @scoopwhoopnews

01:00 PM:
We will restart the anti-corruption phone line that we had started: Arvind Kejriwal #KejriSpeaks Ah. But go slow on the radio ads, please?
12:57 PM:
Our epic reader’s epic observation. Go on, LOL a little. Delhi continues to feel proud though.

12:55 PM:

The dapper AAP cappers.

12:50 PM:
Trust Kejriwal to introduce comedy in such an august gathering.
“Mujhe bukhar tha. Crocin kha ke aya hun main.” Kejri ji, Crocin ka ad, yahan bhi? #Kejrispeaks @scoopwhoopnews

12:42 PM:
“Dilli ki junta ne mujhe vote diya hai. Dilli ki junta ne mujhpe vishwas kiya hai.” Damn right, CM sahab. Don’t go breaking this vishwas. Please follow through on your manifesto.
12:40 PM:
People are filing out post oath, Akshay reports. Arre, ruko yaar!
12:37 PM:
365 Days, 2nd Oath, 6 Ministers. Kejriwal in numbers. #Kejrispeaks @scoopwhoopnews

12:36 PM:
Even if you are NOT in front of your TV, you must have heard that “Bharat Mata ki Jai” shout in your neighbours TV.
12:33 PM:
Any questions for AAP, dear aam junta? Please write to us at @scoopwhoopnews #Kejrispeaks and we’ll pass on the word to your new leaders!
— Durga M Sengupta (@the_bongrel) February 14, 2015
12:33 PM:
What’s the one thing that sets apart this swearing-in ceremony of a CM from others in history? You. Your vote. Look at that inked finger and feel proud.
12:30 PM:
Second innings for the Aam Aadmi many are saying. Let’s not mix up World Cup and Kejri swearing-in, please? #Kejrispeaks
— Durga M Sengupta (@the_bongrel) February 14, 2015
12:29 PM:
Kejriwal’s cabinet takes its oath. We’re looking at you Somnath Bharti, Rakhi Birla.
12:26 PM:
Our reporter is quite enjoying himself as well. See for yourself.
Volunteers run about with yellow and red bands. The rest are donning white topis, including @kvl_akshay . #Kejrispeaks pic.twitter.com/FVdEpjLnjS
— Durga M Sengupta (@the_bongrel) February 14, 2015
12:24 PM:
No standing up allowed! All watch screens with rapt attention. Because they’re talking about 49 days. Skeptical, Delhi? #Kejrispeaks
— Durga M Sengupta (@the_bongrel) February 14, 2015
12:23 PM:
There was pin drop silence till someone just shouted Paanch Saal Kejriwal! Giggles galore through the crowd. Akshay reports.
12:21 PM:
And with that, the AAPsolutely historic 67 seat winning Aam Aadmi Party has put forth a new CM for us. Congratulations, Delhi. #Kejrispeaks
— Durga M Sengupta (@the_bongrel) February 14, 2015
12:17 PM:
Kejriwal signs on the official documents. Najeeb Jung congratulates him. Is that relief we see, Mr Jung?
12:16 PM:

12:15 PM:
People are hanging from rooftops of buildings all around. Kejriwal has started taking his oath! #5SaalKejriwal
12:14 PM:
After national anthem the crowd is charged with patriotism. The oath is underway, Akshay reports.
12:13 PM:
Kejriwal to speak any second now. He’s on the stage. Delhi, you get a new CM soon! Wait for it!
12:11 PM:
Funny how there’s no Paanch Saal Kejriwal anymore. All the songs are Bharat Mataki Jai and Desh ki Dharti. “Victory of AAP in Delhi seems to mean revolution for the country?” Akshay asks. Fair point!
12:08 PM:
hAAPpy V-day everyone. This day belongs to Kejriwal now. Do you know he quit on the same day last year? What a poetic comeback!
12:07 PM:
The Aam Aadmi paraphernalia! Delhi is celebrating. Are you there yet? If not, stay tuned @scoopwhoopnews #Kejrispeaks pic.twitter.com/11IYrEeHbM

12:04 PM:
People slept here overnight, Akshay reports. Police alert and in position since 4am. A restless cop said, “I have been standing here since 4am, and I’ve not had a drop of water.” An AAP supporter takes out water for him. All laugh.
12:02 PM:
Crowd management: Check. No internet: Check. Hyperventilating reporters: Check. #Kejrispeaks @scoopwhoopnews
— Durga M Sengupta (@the_bongrel) February 14, 2015
12:02 PM:
Our reporter turns poet at the venue. KVL Akshay writes: The sweltering sun with a light breeze, Yet the people are unhindered and free, There is optimism in the air and a smile on people’s faces, All we need now are our new leaders in their rightful places. Feeling inspired?
12:00 PM:
Kejriwal is in and he’s 10 minutes EARLY, say the cops! This is a first!
11:56 AM:
Kejriwal has arrived at the venue. The crowd is surprisingly disciplined! Another kind of Swachh Bharat?
11:54 AM:
When asked where he was headed, our reporter’s auto driver burst into #5SaalKejriwal #Kejrispeaks @scoopwhoopnews
— Durga M Sengupta (@the_bongrel) February 14, 2015
11:51 AM:
Bulldozing the opposition. Mood at Ramlila.

11:47 AM:

11:38 AM:
Kejriwal left his residence in Ghaziabad a while ago and his on his way to Ramlila. He didn’t forget one thing though: Maa ka ashirwad. Blessings from Delhi too, CM sahab. Iss baar paanch saal. No AK49, please.
