“It’s all thanks to Arvind Kejriwal and Baba Saheb that people like me have the opportunity to become a Minister. Our focus will be on working as much as possible, with a priority on serving the Dalit and backward communities.” AAP MLA Mukesh Ahlawat said in his first reaction after taking oath as minister.

Kejriwal has demanded an early election, Delhi is due to go to Assembly Elections early next year.
