New Delhi:

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal addresses crowd at Ramlila Maidan after taking oath.

Here are the highlights:

  • I knew the people of Delhi loved us but did not know they loved us this much to give us 67 of the 70 seats.
  • This is a miracle. God is trying to tell us something.
  • We're just mediums.
  • We must guard against being arrogance. We will not be able to fulfil our mission if we are arrogant.
  • For 5 years I will be in Delhi and serve the people of Delhi.
  • Some doctors said people with topis came to their hospital and did 'gundagardi', I don't expect our workers to do this.
  • I want to tell the police if someone in a topi is breaking the law, he should be brought to justice no matter which party he belongs to.
  • Last time we had romanticism and passion to remove corruption. But after running the government for 49-days we have the confidence that we can make Delhi corruption-free.
  • We will make Delhi the first corruption-free state in India.
  • I will repeat what I said on December 28 - if someone asks you for a bribe, don't refuse. Take your mobile phones out and record it. We will act upon it.
  • Aaj Crocin kha kar aaya hoon yahaan pe (Have taken a Crocin and come here today)
  • Request media not to measure the government's performance in hours. The people have given us 5 years.
  • Told the PM that we want constructive cooperation from the Central government.
  • Must act strongly against attempts at religious strife.
  • BJP has been promising Delhi a full statehood. I told the PM this is a golden opportunity.
  • We have the majority in Delhi and the BJP at the Centre.
  • We will pass Lokpal Bill, we're restarting anti-graft helpline
  • The aam aadmi's sarkar is everyone's government whether you voted for us or not. I am everyone's chief minister.
  • Pay your taxes, we'll put your money to good use. No one will be able to steal it.
  • There is no dearth of funds in the government. All you need is intent
  • Janata bahut acchi hai. Janata ko galey laga lo, janat apna vikas khud kar legi. (The people of Delhi are very good... embrace them... they will ensure their development themselves)
  • Kiran Bedi is like my sister, will also seek Ajay Maken's guidance.
  • We don't want to be partisan, we want to get together with all the good people whether in Congress or the BJP and work towards the development of Delhi.
  • Aam Aadmi Party workers are pure gold, sometimes am reduced to tears when I hear their stories.
  • Hope the Indian cricket team wins the World Cup, my best wishes to them.
  • Ends with singing a prayer - gives disclaimer that he is a bad singer.
