AAP leader Kailash Gahlot expressed his unwavering loyalty to former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, calling himself Kejriwal's 'Hanuman' as he assumed his role in the Atishi-led Delhi government on Tuesday.

The event followed Chief Minister Atishi's comparison of her situation to that of Bharat in the Ramayana. Gahlot committed to addressing all pending matters and praised the leadership of Kejriwal, under whom he said the AAP aimed to establish 'Ram Rajya'.

Gahlot, who continues to hold his portfolios in transport, home, administrative reforms, and women and child development, voiced confidence in AAP's electoral preparedness and said he believes Kejriwal will return as Delhi's chief minister in the February elections.

Senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia had also likened his relationship with Kejriwal to that of Lord Ram and Laxman. Meanwhile, Atishi visited the Hanuman temple, seeking blessings to continue their work and ensure Kejriwal's reinstatement as chief minister.
