New Delhi: Atishi Marlena, the Chief Minister of Delhi, has recently filed an affidavit along with her nomination papers for the upcoming Assembly election in Kalkaji constituency. The affidavit reveals some interesting changes in her assets and personal information since the last election in 2020.
According to the affidavit, Atishi's immovable assets have increased by Rs 17.14 lakh since the last election. However, the column for her spouse's name, which previously listed Praveen Singh in 2020, is now left blank or marked as "not applicable". This could be due to Atishi's rising political career, which has also led to an increase in the number of criminal cases against her. While she had only one pending criminal case in 2020, she now has a total of four. However, it's worth noting that she has not been convicted of any criminal offence.
One noticeable change in the affidavit is Atishi's official name, which remains Atishi Marlena, rather than just Atishi. This distinction was made to avoid attacks from rival politicians who criticized her for her unique surname, which is a combination of Marxist and Leninist. Atishi's movable assets are now at Rs 76.93 lakh, an increase from Rs 59.79 lakh in 2020.
In the previous election, Atishi had listed her husband's name as Praveen Singh and his immovable assets were reported as Rs 81.42 lakh. However, in the latest affidavit, the column for spouse name is blank. According to social media, both Atishi and Praveen have worked on educational reforms in Madhya Pradesh for seven years. Additionally, the CM's address has also changed. In 2020, she listed her address as Jangpura extension and identified herself as the daughter of Tripta Wahi. But now, she identifies herself as the daughter of Vijay Kumar Singh, a resident of Block B, Kalkaji.
Interestingly, Atishi's opponent, Alka Lamba from the Congress party, has declared her immovable assets as Rs 61.12 lakh and Rs 14.36 lakh for a dependent. She also owns a commercial flat in Gurgaon worth Rs 80 lakh and a residential property in Delhi's South Extension-I worth Rs 2 crore. Alka's profession is listed as a social activist, with her main source of income being consultancy and her son's earnings as a legal professional.
Alka has a Masters in Applied Chemistry and Education, while Atishi's highest qualification is a Master of Science from the University of Oxford in 2006. Atishi's profession is listed as a "Politician, Chief Minister of Delhi" and her salary is reported as her main source of income. These are some of the changes that can be seen in Atishi's affidavit from 2020 to 2025, showcasing her growth and progress in both her personal and political life.
