Other politicians like West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and NC leader Omar Abdullah also took to Twitter to wish the Aam Aadmi Party chief. An IIT-Kharagpur graduate, Kejriwal had joined the services as an Indian Revenue Service officer in 1995 but quit his high profile job in 2012 to form the Aam Aadmi Party. In 2006, Kejriwal was awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership recognising his involvement in the grassroots movement Parivartan using right to information legislation in a campaign again corruption. On 14 February 2015, he was sworn in as Chief Minister for a second term after his party's victory in the Delhi Legislative Assembly election.
