Arvind Kejriwal resigns as Delhi CM hours after picking Atishi as his successor

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal resigned as Delhi Chief Minister on Tuesday, handing over the reins to his colleague Atishi. This move followed Kejriwal’s release on bail in the liquor policy case. He submitted his resignation to Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, alongside Atishi and ex-Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, who is also out on bail in the same case.

Atishi, the newly appointed



Chief Minister, expressed her commitment to working for the people of Delhi and securing victory in the upcoming election. Speaking to reporters, she referred to Kejriwal as her "mentor" and assured that her primary goal would be his return to power. "Delhi has only one Chief Minister, and that is Kejriwal," she declared, while also accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of conspiring against Kejriwal with "fake charges."
