Delhi’s new chief minister.
Guess what? Atishi has just been named Delhi's new chief minister (CM). She’s taking over from Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), who has resigned from the post.
Atishi will be in charge until February 2025, when new state assembly elections will take place. She’s a super important member of her party, the AAP.
Atishi is ready to work hard for everyone in Delhi and hopes that AAP will win the next election so Kejriwal can return as the CM!
About Atishi.
Atishi is now the third woman to be Delhi’s CM, following Sushma Swaraj and Sheila Dikshit.
Atishi has been with her party, AAP, since 2013. She helped improve schools in Delhi and won an election in 2020 to become an MLA and minister.
She is well-educated and wants to make life good for everyone in Delhi!
Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation.
Arvind Kejriwal, the former Delhi CM, was jailed for five months over allegations of corruption. He and his party say these aren’t true. He got out of jail a few days ago and decided to step down from the post.
Kejriwal said he will only become the CM again if people vote for AAP in the next election.
But, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), AAP’s main opposition party in Delhi, thinks Kejriwal’s resignation is just a trick to get people to feel sorry for him.
