Delhi’s new Chief Minister Atishi faced criticism from BJP and Congress for not using her predecessor's chair, labeling it an insult to constitutional rules. Comparing herself to Ramayana's Bharat, Atishi pledged to temporarily serve with dignity.

The Kalkaji MLA's name was proposed by Kejriwal, who tendered his resignation as Chief Minister, for the top post.

Indian opposition leader Arvind Kejriwal picked Delhi minister Atishi to replace him as chief minister of the capital territory on Tuesday, allowing him to focus on winning a fresh mandate in elections due next year after getting bail in a graft case.

Gopal Rai has taken charge as Delhi's new Environment Minister, vowing to continue initiatives led by Arvind Kejriwal. Atishi has been sworn in as the new Chief Minister. Kejriwal stepped down amidst corruption allegations but expressed intentions to return if he wins the next election in February 2025.

Prominent opposition leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has resigned from his post, days after getting bail in a corruption case. Kejriwal spent five months in jail in connection with a now-scrapped alcohol sales policy. He has denied the allegations against him.

The opposition leader spent almost six months locked up in relation to alleged irregularities in New Delhi's liquor policy.

Atishi has taken over as Delhi's new chief minister from Arvind Kejriwal, managing 13 key portfolios such as finance and power. The cabinet features both returning ministers and newcomer Mukesh Kumar Ahlawat.
