As Kejriwal was busy in a cabinet meeting, his assistant and an Aam Aadmi Party volunteer patiently heard the elderly gent and promised to convey the message, much to the amazement of the secretariat staffers.
Prior to the election of the new government, the 10-floor edifice, also called the Player's Building for it was built to house athletes during the 1982 Asian Games, would mostly be swarmed by officials, ministers and members of the legislative assembly
However, post Dec 28 - the day Kejriwal took oath as Delhi chief minister with his six cabinet ministers - the secretariat has witnessed winds of change with numerous party workers donning the quintessential AAP caps along with hordes of Delhiites getting access to the imposing building.
There's even a joke doing the rounds that the secretariat is the AAP's new office in Delhi.
The new government has also done away with the practice of keeping reserved elevators for the ministers and MLA's. People taking the lift standing alongside a cabinet minister is a common sight now.
Delhiites, who till now visited their local MLAs to get their problems resolved, are now seen waiting outside the concerned ministers offices to meet them personally.
