Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Chief Minister-designate Bhagwant Mann and his Cabinet colleagues will be sworn-in on March 16, it was announced on Friday.

The AAP recorded a thumping win in the Assembly polls by winning 92 of the 117 seats. The ruling Congress won 18 seats, a massive decline from 77 it had won in 2017, while the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) could manage only three seats. Bhagwant Mann won from Dhuri by a margin of over 58,000 votes.

Earlier on Friday, Mann met AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal at the latter’s residence in the national capital, where Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia was also present.
