Atishi becomes Delhi’s third woman chief minister, 17th in India’s history


PTI, Sep 21, 2024, 4:52 PM IST

AAP leader Atishi took oath on Saturday as Delhi’s third woman chief minister and became the youngest of all three to hold the top office in the national capital. She also became the 17th woman to hold the post of chief minister in independent India.

The senior AAP leader, however, will have a brief tenure in office as assembly elections in the national capital are due in February.

A first-time legislator, Atishi is a key face of the party and managed AAP’s operations during Arvind Kejriwal’s time in Tihar jail in connection with the excise policy case.

Earlier this week, Atishi was chosen as the leader of the legislature party after Kejriwal made an unexpected announcement that he would resign as chief minister and return to the post only if Delhi’s people give him a “certificate of honesty” in the assembly polls likely to be held early next year.
