Atishi's Swearing-in Likely on September 21: Delhi Prepares for New Leadership



In a significant political shift for Delhi, the Lieutenant Governor (L-G) has proposed September 21 as the date for Atishi’s swearing-in ceremony as the next Chief Minister. The move follows the resignation of outgoing Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, whose letter has now been sent to President Droupadi Murmu for her approval.

Sources indicate that the resignation process is expected to be swiftly finalized, allowing the transition to Atishi’s leadership within the week. Kejriwal, who has served multiple terms as Delhi’s CM, is stepping down amid speculation of a national role within his party.

Atishi, known for her contributions to Delhi’s education and health sectors, is expected to take the reins during a crucial period for the city. She has gained widespread popularity for her policies and initiatives aimed at improving the quality of public services in the capital.

The proposed date for the ceremony, September 21, marks a historic occasion as Atishi becomes one of the few women to hold the top position in the Delhi government.

Political analysts predict that Atishi’s leadership will bring a fresh perspective to governance in Delhi, while also continuing the legacy of reforms championed by Kejriwal’s administration.

The capital now awaits the final confirmation from the President’s office before the formal announcement of Atishi’s elevation as the new Chief Minister of Delhi.
