At Arvind Kejriwal's Kaushambi home, a jhaadu bouquet and blessings
Kaushambi, Ghaziabad: Outside Arvind Kejriwal's apartment in Kaushambi, Ghaziabad, crowds of people waited patiently for Delhi's new chief minister to emerge.

Among them a man who had brought along a bouquet fashioned out of a broom, the election symbol of Mr Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party, to present to him.

Others too waited with flowers in their hands to greet Delhi's new political hero, who has vowed to remain accessible to the common man even as he took over as the capital's youngest ever chief minister.

There is excitement and much expectation and Mr Kejriwal seems to have his task cut out.

"He must first address the security problem, especially for women, in Delhi," said a Sikh gentleman who had come over from Delhi to congratulate "our new Chief Minister."

An elderly gentleman in a red turban said he had travelled from his village and waited all night to bless Mr Kejriwal. "Why CM, he will be PM," the man said.

Mr Kejriwal drove up to the Kaushambi metro station in a car and then boarded a metro to go to Ramlila Maidan to take the oath.
