After the poll test, the Aam Aadmi Party cleared the test of strength on the floor of the house as well. Earlier last week, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal took oath on Saturday as the seventh chief minister of Delhi.

Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung administered the oath of office and secrecy to Kejriwal and six other ministers at the Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi. Six ministers -- Manish Sisodia, Somnath Bharti, Rakhi Birla, Satyendra Jain, Saurabh Bharadwaj, Girish Soni - also took the oath of office and secrecy at the ceremony.

"Today, every Delhi resident has been sworn in as a minister. The fight was not about making Arvind Kejriwal the CM. It was about giving power to the people. If we come together, we will be able to defeat corruption," he said after the oath-taking ceremony.

Kejriwal, who had at first shot cleared the IIT entrance examination, the UPSC and now, formed a government, added, "We will give Delhi residents a (phone) number in two days so that they can lodge complaints against officials taking bribes.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called up Kejriwal and extended his best wishes to the AAP leader, who asked his six ministers sworn in on Saturday not to be arrogant and stick to the party's poll promises.

Earlier in the day, Kejriwal took a metro from Kaushambi station around 11:00am to reach Barakhamba. From there, he reached the swearing-in venue in a car. True to his Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP's) anti-VIP culture, Kejriwal on Monday turned down 'Z' category security.

"The choice of the venue, Ramlila Maidan, was symbolic and a reminder to people that the AAP and Kejriwal were staying the course. An anti-corruption movement by social activist Anna Hazare and Kejriwal launched at this very ground in the heart of Delhi in 2011 had forced Parliament to commit to an anti-corruption watchdog. The two have fallen out since, but on Saturday,Hazare sent his best wishes to his protégé."

As Kejriwal reiterated his poll promises at Ramlila Maidan, thousands who thronged the venue wearing the AAP's white cap, erupted in thunderous applause.

The first big challenge for Kejriwal, 45, and his ministers will be to roll back the 10% hike in CNG prices announced on Thursday. Auto drivers in the city, who form a huge section of his supporters, have threatened a strike.

Besides, during campaigning for the December 4 elections, the AAP had promised to slash the power tariff by 50% and provide free water supply to households using up to 700 litres a day. The promises, experts believe, will not be easy to meet. On Saturday, Kejriwal admitted, "I don't have a magic wand. We can't solve all problems tomorrow."

The future of AAP's minority government, however, depends on how it delivers. Along with the people of Delhi, the Congress, which was routed by the rookie party, will keep an eye on the government's performance.

"Our support (to the AAP) is not unconditional. If they (the AAP) can provide relief to the people of Delhi, it is well and good," Sheila Dikshit, former chief minister and Congress leader, had said on Monday.

The AAP, which has 28 legislators after a stellar debut in electoral politics, needs the outside support of the eight Congress MLAs to survive. With 32 seats, the BJP is the single largest party in the 70-member House.

The new government will have to prove its majority by January 3. However, the AAP leader did not seem bothered about the floor test. "I'm not worried. This is a minor issue. If we don't get it (majority), we will go for reelection and win again," Kejriwal said after taking the oath.

After the ceremony, Kejriwal visited Mahatma Gandhi's memorial in Rajghat to pay homage. Earlier in the day, Kejriwal boarded the metro from Kaushambi Station to take oath at the Ramlila Maidan as hundreds of people jostled with each other to board the train with him.

There was no place to stand on the Metro premises and people were falling over each other as Kejriwal arrived to board the train. The AAP leader got off the train at Barakhamba Metro Station from where he took a car to reach Ramlila Maidan.

Additional Central Industrial Security Force security personnel and the Uttar Pradesh personnel were deployed at the station.

"There was no place to stand in the Metro premises and people were falling over each other as Kejriwal arrived to board the train. The AAP leader got off the train at Barakhamba Metro Station from where he took a car to reach Ramlila Maidan."

CISF officials had earlier said that some of its personnel will also travel in the coach with Kejriwal to guard him.

Before boarding the train, Kejriwal said, "It is a beginning. The second fight for independence. Till this country gets freedom from corruption, famine and injustice, this fight will continue. It is the victory of the common man," Kejriwal said. "Action will start immediately after we take the oath," he said. Hundreds of AAP supporters gathered at Kejriwal's residence in Kaushambi in the morning to greet him along with a group from his native village in Haryana's Bhiwani district.

Kejriwal's cabinet colleague Manish Sisodia was at the station along with his wife Seema Sisodia and their 12-year old son Mir. "I am happy, it is a historic moment for us and I am confident that he (Kejriwal) will perform his responsibilities well," said Seema.

Sisodia's father Dharampal Singh, an ex-serviceman, and currently, a teacher will also attend the swearing-in ceremony. Apart from Kejriwal, his father Govind Ram Kejriwal, mother Geeta Devi, wife Sunita, daughter Harshita and son Pulkit would also witness the ceremony.

Some of the people who had gathered at Kejriwal's residence had got bouquets shaped like AAP's symbol broom. One of the onlookers gathered at the scene was dressed like a groom.
