AAP's Raghav Chadha Set To Be Appointed Vice Chairman Of Delhi Jal Board, Atishi Gets New Role Too

Raghav Chadha has been appointed as the Vice Chairman of Delhi Jal Board.

New Delhi:

Days after they were passed over for the Delhi cabinet in Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's new term, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its Delhi Government has announced new roles for MLAs Raghav Chadha and Atishi, two of most prominent young faces in the party. 

While Mr Chadha is going to be appointed as the Vice Chairman of Delhi Jal Board, Ms Atishi will be in-charge for party's Goa unit.

Mr Chadha's name has been cleared by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the file has been sent to LG.

Mr Chadha, 31, is a first time MLA from Delhi's Rajinder Nagar constituency and will be replacing party colleague Dinesh Mohaniya.

One of the most known AAP faces on national television, he won the Rajinder Nagar constituency with a margin of 20,085 votes against BJP's Sardar RP Singh.

A chartered accountant by profession, Mr Chadha replaces Dinesh Mohaniya, who was appointed as Vice-Chairman of Delhi Jal Board in July 2015 after the AAP government came to power in Delhi for the first time.

The Rajinder Nagar MLA will be a deputy to Urban Development Minister Satyendar Jain, who serves as the chairman of Delhi Jal Board.

Ms Atishi, who won Delhi's Kalkaji constituency against BJP's Dharambir Singh by over 11,000 votes, will be party's new in-charge for its Goa unit.

A former education advisor to Delhi government, Ms Atishi is credited for reforms brought out by the AAP dispensation in state government schools.
