New Delhi, September 17, 2024: Delhi minister Atishi pipped Kailash Gahlot to become the next Delhi Chief Minister, two days after Arvind Kejriwal said he would step down from the top post. Atishi’s name was proposed by Kejriwal at the meeting of the legislature party, and it was unanimously accepted by the AAP MLAs.

Sources said there would be no Deputy Chief Minister and Atishi would take oath during a special Assembly session, which would be held on September 26-27.

Kejriwal, who was granted bail in the liquor policy case last week, sent shockwaves through Delhi’s political circles after announcing on September 15 that he would resign in two days.
