Atishi, the Chief Minister of Delhi, has tendered her resignation to Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena following the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) significant defeat in the recent assembly elections. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a decisive victory, winning 48 out of 70 seats, thereby ending AAP’s decade-long governance in the national capital.
Atishi, who assumed the role of Chief Minister in September 2024 after Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation, managed to retain her seat in the Kalkaji constituency, defeating BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri. Despite the party’s overall loss, she has expressed her commitment to continue her political journey and serve the people of Delhi.
The BJP’s return to power in Delhi after 27 years marks a significant shift in the city’s political landscape. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has pledged to focus on the development of Delhi and improving the quality of life for its residents.
