Arvind Kejriwal addressed the issue in a series of tweets today evening.
Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi's Chief Minister, will not be in charge of any ministry in the capital's new government. Instead, he will "oversee the work of the ministers and connect with the people", according to Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
Mr Sisodia himself will look after multiple ministries, including Urban Development, Education, Finance, Planning, Revenue and Vigilance.
During the AAP's last term, the Chief Minister was in charge of the crucial ministries of finance, home and power. But this time, Mr Kejriwal wanted to be relieved from departmental work so he could focus on connecting with the people and revamping the system, sources in the AAP told NDTV.
"I don't think CM shud micromanage any one ministry (sic)," tweeted the Chief Minister today evening.

The new Cabinet has attracted considerable criticism for its lack of woman legislators; to counter it, the AAP points out that a team of young lawmakers, including women, will work with the Chief Minister's Office on various issues, directly under the supervision of Mr Kejriwal.
