Arvind Kejriwal is likely to be sworn in as the chief minister of Delhi on February 16 for the third time at the Ramlila Maidan, sources said on Wednesday.
Kejriwal's oath-taking ceremony at the Ramlila Maidan also assumes significance as it was from this ground that he along with Anna Hazare led a massive anti-corruption agitation in 2011.
He has taken oath as the chief minister twice before at the same venue.
The Aam Aadmi Party swept the Delhi Assembly polls, bagging 62 out 70 seats and decimating its rivals BJP and Congress. The BJP bagged eight seats.
Earlier on Wednesday, Kejriwal met Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal at the Raj Niwas.
The meeting lasted for around 15 minutes. Sources said the two discussed the oath-taking ceremony.
