I will be the people's chief minister: Kejriwal
New Delhi, Feb 10 (IBNS): All set to be the Chief Minister of Delhi again, Arvind Kejriwal of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said he will end bribery and serve everyone.
"I will be people's chief minister," said Arvind Kerjiwal speaking to NDTV.
He told the channel that his job will be to end bribery first.
He said he would be the chief minister of even those who did not vote for AAP.

The Congress is leading in three seats.
