Meteoric Rise Of Atishi, Delhi's Next Chief Minister

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal will today resign as Chief Minister of Delhi after a meeting with Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena this afternoon, paving the way for party leader Atishi to take over the top post. The decision was taken at an AAP leaders' meeting today. Atishi, 43, currently holds key portfolios of education and Public Works Department (PWD) in the Delhi government. Her ascent to the Chief Ministerial role was marked by monumental shifts in AAP's internal dynamics, with senior leaders like Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain embroiled in legal battles. Both Mr Sisodia and Mr Jain resigned from their positions following their arrests, creating a vacuum within the AAP leadership.
