By: WE Staff | Wednesday, 18 September 2024
Atishi Marlena has been appointed as Delhi's Chief Minister after Arvind Kejriwal's resignation. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chose her due to her leadership during key political and administrative challenges. Atishi has managed 14 portfolios, including finance, education, and revenue, and is the third woman to hold the position in Delhi. Her involvement in educational reforms and political activism highlights her leadership abilities.
Atishi, a Rhodes Scholar with a history degree from Oxford University, is a leading candidate for the chief ministerial role due to her global reputation for transforming Delhi's education system and her expertise in the administrative landscape, ensuring a smooth transition and stability. Her appointment as Delhi's CM marks a significant shift in the AAP's leadership. Her appointment is seen as a strategic move to appeal to a broader electorate, particularly women voters, and to maintain stability within the party. Atishi's leadership is expected to bring a fresh perspective to Delhi's governance, continuing the reforms initiated by her predecessor, Arvind Kejriwal.
As Delhi's new Chief Minister, Atishi is expected to prioritize education reform, healthcare expansion, women's safety and empowerment, infrastructure and environment, and financial management. She has a history of transforming Delhi's public education system and is committed to ensuring quality education for all. She will further address pollution control, water management, and sustainable urban infrastructure.
Why Arvind Kejriwal Resigned as Delhi's CM?
Arvind Kejriwal resigned as Delhi's Chief Minister due to legal challenges, moral stand, political strategy, and Supreme Court restrictions. He aimed to regain public trust and galvanize support for his party ahead of the upcoming assembly elections. Kejriwal spent five months in jail before his release. His resignation was influenced by the Supreme Court's restrictions.
