Aam Admi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal on Monday requested Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung to allow him to take oath on December 26 at Ramlila Maidan, from where the anti-corruption movement had started.
In a meeting with Mr Jung, Mr Kejriwal conveyed his party's decision to form a government in Delhi, and also requested him to allow the oath taking ceremony to be held at Ramlila Maidan on December 26.
Ramlila Maidan was the venue from where Anna Hazare along with Mr Kejriwal and others started the anti-graft movement last year.
Sources said the LG has sent his report to the President citing all the discussions that took place between him and Mr Kejriwal, along with his letter.
The LG office is now waiting for confirmation from the President regarding the government formation, sources from the LG office said.
Mr Kejriwal said on Monday that AAP has given a letter to the Lt Governor expressing its readiness to form the government.
"We were called by the Lt Governor to discuss government formation on December 14. We had sought time to take a decision as ours is a party of common people and we wanted to take their views," he said.
Mr Kejriwal said the decision was taken after a meeting of the party's Political Affairs Committee on Monday morning in which the results of the referendum were discussed.
