These are the 4 reasons behind choosing Atishi as the new CM of Delhi, she has travelled from minister to Chief Minister in one and a half years
Atishi, the current education and finance minister of the AAP government in Delhi, will be the next chief minister of Delhi. Atishi was unanimously elected leader in the legislative party meeting held on Tuesday under the chairmanship of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal. AAP state convenor Gopal Rai said that Atishi’s name was proposed by Dilip Pandey. Arvind Kejriwal met Lieutenant Governor Vinay Saxena at 4.30 pm and submitted his resignation from the post of Chief Minister. After this, Atishi presented her claim to form the government before the LG.
Atishi, MLA from Kalkaji assembly seat, will be the third woman Chief Minister of Delhi. Earlier, Sushma Swaraj from BJP and Sheila Dixit from Congress have held power in Delhi. Atishi was made a minister for the first time on 09 March 2023. She got entry in the Kejriwal cabinet after the arrest of Manish Sisodia.
Atishi, who grew up in Delhi, was born on 8 June 1981 to Vijay Singh Tomar and Tripta Wahi. They are originally from Punjab, but Atishi grew up in Delhi. She comes from a Rajput family, but her parents added the word Marlena to her name. However, in 2018, she moved forward with her name as just Atishi. Now she is known everywhere only as Atishi.
got a master’s degree from Oxford
Atishi has been a good scholar from the very beginning. After completing her schooling from Springdale School, Pusa Road, Atishi completed her graduation in History from St. Stephen’s under Delhi University in 2001. Immediately after that, she did her Master’s degree in History from Oxford University on a scholarship. In 2005, she studied at Magdalene College with a Rhodes Scholarship from Oxford University.
Why choose Atishi
■ Atishi has been associated with the party since its inception. She played an important role in shaping many schemes including the Delhi education model.
■ After Manish Sisodia and Arvind Kejriwal went to jail, he took forward his work with maximum departments in the government.
■ She has been raising the issues of the party and the government strongly on every platform. Being a good policy maker, she currently has a good hold in the government.
■ He is among the trusted leaders of Aam Aadmi Party.
On being elected CM, Atishi said that I am happy, but also sad because Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has resigned. I want to say on behalf of all AAP MLAs and 2 crore people of Delhi that Delhi has only one Chief Minister and his name is Arvind Kejriwal. BJP has left no stone unturned in harassing Kejriwal and plotting against him for the last two years. A man who can refuse a job in IRS, can resign from the post of Chief Minister, such an honest man was accused of corruption by BJP, he was kept in jail in a false case. Atishi told the journalists that now we have to work hard for the next few months. The development work that Kejriwal has started for the people has to be continued. Our only aim is to make Kejriwal the Chief Minister again with a huge majority.
Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva: “Changing the face will not change the character of the Aam Aadmi Party. The party led by Kejriwal is still accountable for the corruption during its 10 years of rule. The new chief minister will have to explain how she looted the people of Delhi.”
Delhi Congress President Devendra Yadav said, “Best wishes to Atishi. She should work to solve people’s problems and stop the increasing atrocities on women. You cannot ignore people’s problems.”
Rules for forming government in Delhi
From the Lieutenant Governor to the President, everyone plays a big role in the formation of a new government in Delhi. After the new Chief Minister is elected, a new cabinet is formed. According to the procedure, first the CM has to submit his resignation to the Lieutenant Governor. It is approved by the LG and sent to the President. After that the President also approves the resignation. In this way the process of the new government is completed. According to the rules, the new leader of the legislative party meets the Lieutenant Governor with his members and stakes claim to form a new government. First the consent of the Lieutenant Governor has to be taken on this and then the final seal is put by the President. Finally the Chief Minister and his cabinet are sworn in.
