Atishi, a prominent leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has taken oath as the new Chief Minister of Delhi, marking a significant moment in the city's political landscape. This appointment follows Arvind Kejriwal's resignation, prompted by his recent bail in the Delhi liquor policy case. Atishi's ascension to the top post makes her the youngest leader to ever hold the office of Delhi's Chief Minister, a testament to her rapid rise within the AAP ranks.
Prior to assuming the Chief Minister's responsibilities, Atishi met with Kejriwal and other AAP leaders who will be part of her cabinet. The cabinet includes Mukesh Ahlawat, a first-time MLA from Sultanpur Majra, who will be a prominent figure in Atishi's administration. Other key members of the cabinet are Gopal Rai, Imran Hussain, Kailash Gahlot, and Saurabh Bharadwaj. All of them took oath as new ministers alongside Atishi.
The oath ceremony was a subdued affair, reflecting the somber mood within the AAP due to Kejriwal's resignation. Despite the subdued atmosphere, Atishi's elevation to the Chief Minister's post signifies a pivotal moment in the AAP's political journey in Delhi. Her leadership will be closely watched as she navigates the complex political landscape of the capital city, facing numerous challenges including the ongoing liquor policy case and the upcoming general elections.
