Delhi News Desk!!! Atishi Marlena, who is going to take over the post of Chief Minister of Delhi after Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation, may address the Delhi Assembly on 26 September. The party has called an assembly session on 26 and 27 September. On Tuesday evening, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal met the Lieutenant Governor and submitted his resignation. On the other hand, Atishi sought time from the Lieutenant Governor to take oath and staked claim to form the government.
Atishi asked for time to take oath
Party sources said that the agenda of the assembly session has not been decided yet, but Atishi can speak on issues related to Delhi and the public. The Lieutenant Governor has not yet announced the date for Atishi’s swearing-in, but it remains to be seen when Atishi will take oath as the Chief Minister. However, even before Atishi’s swearing-in, there is a split in the Aam Aadmi Party. The party’s Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal has opened a front against Atishi.
‘Delhi gets a puppet CM’
Maliwal said that Delhi has got a puppet Chief Minister. He is from the same family that had written mercy petitions to the President and the Supreme Court to save terrorist Afzal Guru. Countering Maliwal, AAP leader Dilip Pandey said that Maliwal is speaking the language of the BJP, if she has any shame then she should first resign from the Rajya Sabha membership. She should stop reading the script of the BJP.
‘Aatishi’s ideology is dangerous’
At the same time, BJP said that Atishi has presented anti-national thinking on different issues. Aam Aadmi Party is trying to divert the issue of corruption by changing the face. Manoj Tiwari said that Kejriwal has chosen a caretaker Chief Minister. Atishi’s ideology is very dangerous. This game is like blindfolding the people of Delhi.
Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation
Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal announced his resignation from the post of Delhi CM while addressing workers at the party office on September 15. Kejriwal had said that he would go among the public with Manish Sisodia and ask for a certificate of honesty from him. Assembly elections are to be held in Delhi in February 2025.
