In her first speech after taking charge as the Chief Minister of Delhi, Atishi praised and thanked her "guru" and Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal for entrusting her with the responsbility.

Delhi CM Atishi criticized BJP and Lt Governor VK Saxena for halting development in the city. She promised to complete pending projects and urged citizens to re-elect Arvind Kejriwal, highlighting the progress made under his leadership.

Delhi's CM-designate Atishi will be sworn in on Saturday following CM Arvind Kejriwal's resignation. The AAP was awaiting the exact timing from the Lieutenant Governor’s office for the swearing-in.

Ever since AAP first came to power in Delhi in the winter of 2013 and more so after the 2015 win, Arvind Kejriwal has been both the national face of the party as well as the head of the Delhi government. Now, for the first time, the positions have become split with Atishi now heading the government instead of Kejriwal.

As she assumes her post as the CM of Delhi, Atishi in her very first speaks like an election campaigner for Arvind Kejriwal.

New Delhi's new Chief Minister Atishi, who took office recently, faces numerous challenges ahead of the upcoming Assembly polls. She aims to accelerate stalled projects and schemes, including the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, in her first address after taking oath on Saturday, said it was an emotional moment for her as Arvind Kejriwal was no longer the Chief Minister of the national capital. Atishi said,

Atishi became the 17th female chief minister in the country and third in the national capital after the late Sushma Swaraj and the late Sheila Dikshit. She will hold the office till the upcoming assembly elections,

Atishi was sworn in as the chief minister of Delhi at Raj Niwas, days after Arvind Kejriwal stepped down from his post
