New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi today took oath as the new Chief Minister of Delhi. Atishi is the youngest leader to become Delhi’s Chief Minister.
Before she took oath, she and AAP leaders who are part of her cabinet met Arvind Kejriwal.
Mukesh Ahlawat, a first-time MLA from Sultanpur Majra, is the face of Atishi’s cabinet. The others are Gopal Rai, Imran Hussain, Kailash Gahlot, and Saurabh Bharadwaj. All of them took oath as new ministers.
The oath ceremony was a low-key event as the mood in the AAP is not upbeat due to Mr Kejriwal’s resignation.
“It is an emotional moment for me as he (Arvind Kejriwal) will not be the Chief Minister. He understood the pain of every person. He ensured free treatment for people, worked to improve the lives of the students of government schools, brought the provision of free bus rides for women,” Atishi said.
