Atishi is going to become the new Chief Minister of Delhi. In the legislative party meeting at Arvind Kejriwal's residence, the Aam Aadmi Party chief himself proposed her name, on which the MLAs stood up and gave their approval. Kejriwal will resign from the post of Chief Minister of Delhi. At 4:30 pm, Kejriwal will meet Lieutenant Governor (LG) Vinay Saxena and submit his resignation.
Atishi, who emerged as the most powerful minister in the government after Kejriwal went to jail, has become an MLA from Kalkaji for the first time. She has also played an important role in making Delhi's education policy. Atishi is considered a confidant of both Kejriwal and Sisodia. Atishi, who is handling about 18 departments, now has good experience of administration. She has been strongly presenting the party's side in front of the media.
Kejriwal, who was released from jail for several months in the alleged liquor scam, announced his resignation on Sunday. He will submit his resignation to LG VK Saxena on Tuesday evening. Kejriwal has said that he will not sit on the Chief Minister's chair until he wins the election and in the 2020 assembly elections, the Aam Aadmi Party won 62 seats and formed the government for the third consecutive time.
Kejriwal had taken over as the Chief Minister for the third consecutive time in the capital. But the party got into trouble over the liquor policy made for 2021-22. Since Kejriwal's arrest, former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal himself had to go to jail, the opposition party is pressuring for his resignation. Kejriwal was adamant that he would run the government from jail. After getting bail from the Supreme Court, he has surprised everyone by suddenly announcing his resignation before the announcement of the new Chief Minister.
