On a somber Sunday, Delhi's Chief Minister Atishi made the difficult decision to tender her resignation to Lt Governor VK Saxena. This came just a day after her political party, Aam Aadmi Party, faced a disappointing loss in the Assembly polls. Despite retaining her own seat in Kalkaji, Atishi felt it was her duty to step down and hand in her resignation to Saxena at Raj Niwas.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged as the victor in the polls, ending their 26-year drought of power in Delhi by securing 48 out of the 70 Assembly seats. In contrast, the AAP only managed to win 22 seats while the Congress failed to secure a single seat. Party leaders from the BJP have stated that they will be taking steps to claim their power next week, once Prime Minister Narendra Modi returns from his foreign visit.
Atishi had taken on the role of Chief Minister in September of last year, after her predecessor and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal stepped down from the position. It was a challenging role that she had taken on with determination and dedication, but ultimately she had to face the reality of the election results. With heavy hearts, Atishi and her team will now have to step down and make way for the new leadership to take over.
In the end, it was a difficult decision for Atishi to make, but one that she felt was necessary for the betterment of her party and the people of Delhi. The future of the capital city now rests in the hands of the BJP, and only time will tell what changes and developments they will bring. The resignation of Atishi marks the end of an era, but it also signals the beginning of a new chapter for Delhi. This is PTI, reporting on the latest political developments in the capital.
