Atishi replaces Kejriwal as Delhi CM | What led to this decision, Nidhi Sharma explains

Delhi minister Atishi will take over as the new chief minister of India’s national capital territory after the resignation of incumbent Arvind Kejriwal, says the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). The announcement was made by AAP chief Kejriwal during a meeting with his party’s legislators in New Delhi on Tuesday. The 43-year-old Atishi who holds 14 portfolios, including finance, education and revenue and was among those holding the fort while Arvind Kejriwal was in jail, will be the third woman chief minister of Delhi after Congress’ Sheila Dikshit and BJP’s Sushma Swaraj.
