AAP's Kejriwal apologises for quitting as New Delhi chief minister after 49 days
Chief of India's Aam Aadmi (Common Man) party (AAP), Arvind Kejriwal apologised to the people of Delhi for quitting as Chief Minister within 49 days of assuming power.
"Today, I would like to apologise to the people of Delhi as well as to the people of the nation for quitting. We committed a mistake. We apologise for that mistake. When we quit the government, we had quit on moral grounds, we had thought that we would not compromise on our principals. But we never knew that people would misinterpret this, so I apologise to the people," Kejriwal said.
This apology comes after AAP failed to win seats in the general elections of 2014 as it won in the Assembly elections of Delhi last year.
AAP managed to win only four out of the 543 constituencies in which the general elections were held.
Kejriwal said that AAP's poor show at the general elections was the result of the anger of the masses who were disappointed with the party having abandoned the government and him quitting as the Chief Minister of Delhi. [Reuters]

Prime Minister designate Narendra Modi indicates a smaller size of the next government
In a statement and tweets issued late on Sunday night, on the eve of his swearing-in, prime minister-designate Narendra Modi indicated “unprecedented” changes in ministry formation, with “the top layers downsized”.

“Focus is on convergence in the activities of various ministries where one Cabinet minister will be heading a cluster of ministries working in complementary sectors,” the statement said, reasoning that it was necessary for Modi’s dictum of ‘Minimum Government and Maximum Governance’.

“Mr Modi is eventually aiming at Smart Governance where the top layers of government will be downsized and there would be expansion at the grass-root level,” said the statement issued from Gujarat Bhawan, also providing an official account of deliberations over the last few days on government formation.
