Senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi took oath as the Chief Minister of Delhi on Saturday. Succeeding Arvind Kejriwal, who resigned from the Chief Minister’s post after securing bail from the Supreme Court in the alleged excise policy case, Atishi became the youngest Chief Minister of the national capital.
Atishi will be the third woman Chief Minister of Delhi after Sushma Swaraj from the BJP and Sheila Dixit from the Congress.
The AAP leader will also be the youngest Chief Minister of Delhi.
The President has appointed Atishi as Chief Minister of Delhi, from the date of being sworn in, she also accepted Arvind Kejriwal's resignation.
The President also cleared the appointment of five Ministers.
Last week, while ordering his bail in the former case (after granting relief in the latter in July), the Supreme Court said his "prolonged incarceration amounts to unjust deprivation of liberty".
The bail conditions included Mr Kejriwal being barred from signing government orders or files without the consent of the Lieutenant Governor, with whom the AAP has had several aggressive run-ins.
