Aam Aadmi Party chief and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday resigned from his post and handed the responsibility of Delhi to  Atishi. Atishi is the new Chief Minister of Delhi. She has been elected in the Legislative Party meeting. Atishi has been associated with the Aam Aadmi Party since 2012 and is considered close to Arvind Kejriwal. She is the third woman Chief Minister of Delhi after Sushma Swaraj and Sheila Dikshit.  Atishi, an MLA from Delhi’s Kalkaji assembly constituency, is a leader of the Aam Aadmi Party and a member of the party’s Political Affairs Committee (PAC). Atishi is serving as the Minister of Education, PWD, Culture, and Tourism in the Kejriwal government. Earlier, she also worked as an advisor to former Education Minister Manish Sisodia.

Atishi’s political innings started with the Aam Aadmi Party in 2013, and she also played an important role in the party’s policy-making. In 2015, she also participated in the Jal Satyagraha in the Khandwa district of Madhya Pradesh and supported AAP leader and activist Alok Aggarwal during the protests and legal battles that followed. In 2019, the former Oxford University student was fielded against Gautam Gambhir of the Bharatiya Janata Party from the East Delhi Lok Sabha constituency. She lost by more than 4.5 lakh votes. In the 2020 Delhi Assembly elections, Atishi was given a ticket from the Kalkaji Assembly in South Delhi. She defeated BJP’s Dharambir Singh by at least 11,000 votes. 

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Atishi was among the candidates declared by the Aam Aadmi Party. She was also given the responsibility of preparing the organization. She played an important role in improving the condition of education in government schools in Delhi. If we look at Atishi’s career graph, she has faced a lot of ups and downs in her political journey. 

The reason behind making Atishi the CM of Delhi is the order given by the Supreme Court to Kejriwal. While giving bail to Kejriwal, the Supreme Court had said that he is not fit to become the Chief Minister. Kejriwal can remain the Chief Minister of Delhi but cannot do any official work. This is the reason why Kejriwal proposed Atishi to be made the new Chief Minister of Delhi in his place and the party supported Kejriwal’s decision.
Anyway, Atishi is the new Chief Minister of Delhi. After becoming the Chief Minister, Atishi says that for her, even today, Kejriwal is and will remain the real Chief Minister of Delhi. Atishi says that she will work with only one purpose that she has to make Kejriwal the Chief Minister of Delhi once again. Let’s see what Atishi will do after becoming the Chief Minister of Delhi. Will Atishi be able to fulfill her responsibilities well as the new Chief Minister of Delhi or not? Whether Atishi will be accepted as the Chief Minister of Delhi or not by the people of Delhi
