Aam Aadmi Party names Atishi as the leader of opposition in the Delhi assembly. She is the first woman to hold this position in the assembly. Atishi became the youngest Delhi CM in history and was sworn-in on September 21. Meanwhile, the BJP took office on Thursday after the oath-taking ceremony at Ramlila Maidan, with Shalimar Bagh MLA Rekha Gupta becoming Delhi’s chief minister. The BJP defeated major AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal in New Delhi, Manish Sisodia in Jangpura, and Saurabh Bharadwaj in Greater Kailash. The AAP dominated the 2020 and 2015 Delhi elections with landslide victories, winning 67 and 62 seats, respectively. It reduced the BJP to single digits on both occasions and prevented the Congress from securing any seats, ending the party’s long 15-year reign under Sheila Dikshit.
