New Delhi: AAP leader Atishi, who was elected as the next chief minister of Delhi on Tuesday, thanked \u2018guru\u2019 Arvind Kejriwal for giving her \u201csuch a huge responsibility\u201d. In her first reaction to the Aam Aadmi Party\u2019s announcement, the minister said she was sad that Kejriwal would resign as the chief minister today.<\/p>\n
After getting bail in the Delhi excise policy case last week, Arvind Kejriwal announced on Sunday that he would resign as the chief minister of Delhi within 48 hours. He said he would not assume the role of the chief minister of Delhi until he got a \u201ccertificate of honesty\u201d from the people of the national capital. He demanded that the Election Commission conduct the Delhi assembly elections in November.<\/p>\n
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today announced that Atishi will succeed Arvind Kejriwal.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to thank Delhi\u2019s popular CM, my guru, Arvind Kejriwal, for giving me such a huge responsibility. It can happen only in AAP that a first-time politician can become the CM. I come from a normal family. If I would have been in any other party, I wouldn\u2019t have even got a poll ticket,\u201d Atishi said, per PTI.<\/p>\n
Atishi said Arvind Kejriwal made her an MLA and a minister in the Delhi government.<\/p>\n
\u201cArvind Kejriwal trusted me, made me an MLA, minister and today gave me the responsibility to become the CM. I am happy that Arvind Kejriwal has shown so much trust in me, but more than that I am sad because my elder brother Arvind Kejriwal is resigning today,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
She further said Delhi has only one CM \u2013 Arvind Kejriwal.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to say today on behalf of AAP MLAs and two crore people of Delhi that Delhi has only one CM and his name is Arvind Kejriwal,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Atishi, one of the tallest leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party, single-handedly took on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) when senior AAP leaders like Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh were incarcerated in corruption cases. Atishi held several key portfolios and defended the Delhi government\u2019s policies in their absence.<\/p>\n
Arvind Kejriwal was arrested on March 11 by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the Delhi excise policy case. He was released on bail by the Supreme Court last week under the condition that he would not enter the chief minister\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
The Bharatiya Janata Party claimed that Kejriwal decided to resign as the chief minister because of the Supreme Court\u2019s conditions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
