On February 11, the Aam Aadmi Party had made a clean sweep in the Delhi Assembly, winning 62 seats in the 70-member Assembly. The BJP came in second with just 8 seats and the Congress party failed to win any seat with most of their candidates losing their security deposits.

“It was his mother’s idea to dress him up like Arvind Kejriwal. At this age, he can just copy his attire but as he grows older, we shall try to ensure that he becomes an honest and hard working person like Arvind Kejriwal. We all like Kejriwal Sir and his policies,” the boy’s father said.

At the swearing-in ceremony, ‘Little Mufflerman’ could be seen posing with AAP’s newly elected lawmaker Raghav Chadha for a selfie. He also obliged other guests in the front row who wanted a photo opportunity with him. Several guests including party lawmaker Bhagwant Mann were seen shaking hands with the little boy.

Apart from Arvind Kejriwal, six other party leaders were sworn in as part of his Cabinet on Sunday. The Delhi chief minister retained all the six ministers who were part of his government in the previous term—Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, Imran Hussain, Gopal Rai, Rajendra Gautam and Kailash Gehlot.
