Atishi Becomes Delhi Chief Minister After Arvind Kejriwal’s Resignation
Atishi Becomes Delhi Chief Minister: Delhi minister Atishi has been appointed as the new Chief Minister of India’s national capital territory, following the resignation of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal. The announcement was made by Kejriwal during a meeting with his party’s legislators on September 17, 2024, in New Delhi.
Atishi, a key member of AAP, will lead Delhi until the next elections. She takes on the responsibility at a critical time for the party, carrying forward Kejriwal’s vision and addressing the capital’s future challenges. Atishi, 43, has held multiple portfolios in the Delhi government, most notably in finance and education, earning recognition for her contributions to the city’s development.
The move follows Kejriwal’s decision to step down, a day after being released from prison on bail in a high-profile corruption case linked to the Delhi Excise Policy. Kejriwal, 56, maintained that his arrest was part of a “political conspiracy” orchestrated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The AAP has consistently described the case as an attempt to undermine Kejriwal’s leadership.
Kejriwal’s resignation has shaken Delhi’s political landscape, but his endorsement of Atishi signals a smooth transition within AAP. “Atishi steps up to lead Delhi until the upcoming elections, carrying the weight of both CM Arvind Kejriwal’s vision and the national capital’s future,” AAP said in a statement.
Atishi’s appointment as Chief Minister marks a new chapter for Delhi, as she prepares to lead the city through upcoming elections and address its evolving needs.
