First day of AAP government in Delhi today, no decision on convening Assembly session so far

Kejriwal said the AAP will concentrate only on Delhi for now. "I will stay only in Delhi for next 5 years and work for Delhi with full dedication. We have to make Delhi country's first corruption free state."

In a messge to the Centre he reiterated his demand for Delhi's statehood. "I requested the Prime Minister to run the nation and leave Delhi for those who are running Delhi."
