Kejriwal: Delhi's unconventional chief minister

Firstpost  

New Delhi, Jan 1 It surely was an unusual setting for such a high-level official meeting. Seated in the living room of his modest apartment at Kaushambi, a suburb of Delhi, where Arvind Kejriwal and his family have been staying for around a decade, was the chief minister, sitting cross-legged on his sofa at home, a shawl draped around him and a woollen cap swathing his head and ears. For Delhi government bureaucrats it was the first such experience with an unconventional chief minister out to set a new benchmark in governance. Kejriwal was seated on his sofa while Kumar and Kutty were opposite on the sofa in the drawing room of the middle-class Girnar Tower home, a party member close to the chief minister who was present at the meeting told IANS. The two bureaucrats briefed the chief minister and other party members on ramifications of the AAP poll promise to give 666 litres of free water daily to Delhi homes.
