Oh, so Atishi is suddenly the chosen one for CM? What, did Kejriwal just randomly spin a wheel and land on her name?
AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal recently announced his resignation as Delhi Chief Minister, paving the way for Atishi Marlena to become his successor. The move comes ahead of the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections scheduled in early 2025. Atishi, a prominent leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), is an Oxford-educated MLA from the Kalkaji constituency and has handled several key portfolios, including education, public works, and health. Her leadership has been crucial during challenging times, especially when Kejriwal and other senior AAP leaders faced legal challenges.
Kejriwal’s decision to propose Atishi as his successor was based on her continued dedication to governance and activism. She has played a key role in shaping Delhi’s education reforms and handling political crises, such as her leadership during protests against water shortages and her response to the Delhi excise policy controversy. This strategic shift is seen as part of Kejriwal’s efforts to ensure continuity in AAP’s policies and leadership as the party gears up for the next election. To know more about her, let’s discuss in the comment section!
But there are so many prominent leaders like Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, Raghav Chadha, Gopal Rai, Saurabh Bhardwaj, and more. They are the Top leadership of the Aam Aadmi Party who are capable of running the government. Why chose “Atishi Marlena” - a sympathizer of terrorists like Afzal Guru? That’s my question!
Recently Swati Maliwal attacked Atishi on X (formerly Twitter) saying that her family had fought to stop Afzal Guru’s hanging. DCW chief and Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal, who has had a bitter relationship with the Aam Aadmi Party, criticised the decision to appoint Atishi as Delhi’s chief minister. Maliwal said that her parents had fought to stop the hanging of terrorist Afzal Guru. Yet Arvind Kejirwal announched her name for the Next CM of Delhi.
Here is Swati Maliwal orginal tweets
"Today is a very sad day for Delhi. Today the Chief Minister of Delhi is being made a woman whose family fought a long battle to save terrorist Afzal Guru from hanging.
Her parents wrote mercy petitions to the Honorable President to save terrorist Afzal Guru.
According to them, Afzal Guru was innocent and he was framed as part of a political conspiracy.
Although Atishi Marlena is just a ‘Dummy CM’, still this issue is related to the security of the country. May God protect Delhi!"
Delhi CM Latest Update: AAP demands resignation from Swati Maliwal for her comment on Atishi Marlena. AAP leader Dilip Pandey said that Swati Maliwal reads BJP’s script, and if she has any morality left then she should resign immediately and join the Bhartiya Janata Party!
Let us tell you that Swati Maliwal had raised questions on the appointment of Atishi as the next CM of Delhi by the Aam Aadmi Party and said that all this is spoiling the image of the party.
