As Delhi waits for its new Chief Minister, newly elected BJP MLA and national secretary of the party Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Friday shared a related update. He told PTI that the new government in Delhi will start working from February 19-20. BJP legislature party meeting would be held around February 18-19 as PM Modi is also returning from his foreign visit soon, said Sirsa. "The new government will be formed, I think, by February 20, after the swearing-in ceremony," he
