Delhi New CM Atishi: Atishi will be the next Chief Minister of Delhi. CM Arvind Kejriwal proposed her name in the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Legislature Party meeting. The MLAs agreed to this. Atishi will be the third woman CM of Delhi. Earlier, late Sushma Swaraj and Sheila Dixit have been the Chief Ministers of Delhi.

Why only Atishi as CM, 5 reasons

  1. Kejriwal-Sisodia’s closest and most trusted woman leader.
  2. The party maintained a strong stand while Kejriwal and Sisodia were in jail.
  3. When Sisodia went to jail, he got 6 important ministries including education.
  4. She was in the committee that prepared the party’s manifesto for the 2013 assembly elections.
  5. No Controversy with her.

Why Kejriwal Resigned: 3 Key Reasons Explained

1. He is the Chief Minister, but has no power Arvind Kejriwal came out of jail on bail after 177 days in the Delhi liquor policy case. The Supreme Court laid down a condition that he will not go to the CM office nor sign any file. That means he has no power even after coming out of jail and being the Chief Minister.

2. Only 5 months of tenure left The tenure of Delhi Assembly is ending in February 2025. This means that the government has only 5 months left for the elections. During this time, governments take populist electoral decisions. Kejriwal is bound by the conditions of the court. There is sympathy with Kejriwal after his release from jail. Kejriwal would like to capitalize on this by demanding elections in Delhi two-three months earlier.

3. Will strengthen the image of an honest leader. Ever since his name came up in the Delhi liquor policy case and he was arrested, BJP leaders were demanding that Arvind Kejriwal should resign from the post of Chief Minister. After resigning, he will be able to directly tell the BJP leaders that he left the post of Chief Minister only because of allegations. Now the public will decide about his honesty.

BJP leaders Bansuri and Manoj Tiwari congratulated

BJP leader Bansuri Swaraj congratulated Atishi on being made the CM, but she said that nothing is going to change by changing the CM. Manoj Tiwari said congratulations to Atishi, we are also ready for the elections.

BJP state president said- face can be changed, not character

BJP state president Virendra Sachdeva said that AAP leaders are trying to transform the party. They forget that they can change the face of the party, but not its character. They cannot wash away the black stains of corruption on their character. The only issue for the people of Delhi in the elections will be Arvind Kejriwal’s corruption.

What will Kejriwal do after his resignation?

Kejriwal may step down from the post of Chief Minister, but he will continue to be the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). After his resignation, his entire focus will be on the Haryana Assembly elections. He will be able to campaign full time for the party candidates. AAP is contesting on all 90 seats after the alliance with Congress was not confirmed. Kejriwal himself is a resident of Siwani village in Sirsa district in Haryana.

After this, he will focus on Jharkhand and Maharashtra assembly elections. In Jharkhand, AAP can contest elections in alliance with JMM.

Kejriwal faced several controversies as CM, notably the liquor policy scam

Accused of taking Rs 133 crore from Khalistani organizations: 

In March 2024, the World Hindu Federation alleged that Arvind Kejriwal’s party had taken Rs 133 crore from Khalistani terrorist groups between 2014 and 2022 to secure the release of Devendra Pal Bhullar. After this, VK Saxena recommended an NIA inquiry against Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal. However, AAP denied the allegations.

Delhi liquor policy scam: 

In 2021, the Kejriwal government brought a new liquor policy. In July 2022, the LG recommended a CBI inquiry, citing irregularities in it. ED-CBI registered cases in August 2022. Kejriwal was arrested by ED and CBI, calling him the mastermind of the scam. The Supreme Court granted bail in the ED case in July and in the CBI case in September. He remained in Tihar Jail for about 177 days.

Transfer-posting of officers: 

On May 11, 2023, the Supreme Court gave the right to control the transfer-posting of officers to the Delhi government. It also said that the Delhi LG will work only on the advice of the state government. Shortly after this order, CM Arvind Kejriwal removed Service Secretary Ashish More. LG has put a stay on this decision taken against Ashish More. At present, the matter is in the Supreme Court.

Fraud Sukesh’s claim – Gifts were given in exchange for the project: 

Fraud Sukesh Chandrashekhar has written in a letter to Delhi LG Saxena that he had sent furniture for the renovation of the house as a gift for getting a project in Karol Bagh. This included furniture of Ralph Lauren and Visionaire brands. Apart from this, he also gave him silver crockery worth Rs 90 lakh.
