Arvind Kejriwal quits, and Atishi takes over
Kejriwal's resignation had been understood to be inevitable since he had said the other day that he wanted to resign. In the meeting, Atishi submitted a formal proposal on forming a new government in the presence of the Lieutenant Governor. This is AAP's new chapter, as Atishi would be given a new role leading the state government. She happens to be a respected leader, an experience administrator, and has also been the mascot of AAP's governance in the last couple of years. Especially, she is identified with education and health sectors.
Atishi's Experience and Vision for Delhi
Atishi has been long considered one of AAP's most energetic leaders, who played a significant role in changing the face of the Delhi education system. She had catered to the government schools with her much needed reforms, so the quality of education earned exceptional praise for all classes of people. She used to get personally involved with public welfare programs, hence in this role, she will be expected to work further in favor of people depending upon social welfare, health, and infrastructure improvements.
