Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has resigned, paving the way for Atishi to take over as Delhi’s new CM. Elected by the AAP legislative party, Atishi becomes the third woman to hold the position, following Sheila Dikshit and Sushma Swaraj. Atishi expressed gratitude to Kejriwal, calling him her “guru” and pledging to continue his work. She criticized the BJP for creating obstacles for Kejriwal and vowed to work towards reelecting him. The transition follows Kejriwal’s recent release from Tihar Jail and his request for early elections in Delhi.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has called for Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal's resignation after her critical comments on Atishi, who is set to replace Arvind Kejriwal as Delhi Chief Minister. Senior AAP leader Dilip Pandey accused Maliwal of aligning with the BJP and claimed her remarks were out of line. Maliwal had labeled Atishi a "dummy CM" and criticized her family’s past actions regarding terrorist Afzal Guru. The rift between Maliwal and AAP escalated after an assault allegation involving Kejriwal’s aide. Maliwal’s comments have intensified the internal party conflict.

She stated, "Delhi has only one Chief Minister... and that is Kejriwal." Kejriwal faces allegations of corruption and money laundering, but maintains his innocence, accusing BJP of framing him.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi defended his visit to Chief Justice DY Chandrachud’s residence for Ganpati Puja, criticizing the Opposition for politicizing the event. Modi stated, "Those who divide India have a problem with it," emphasizing that Ganesh Utsav is a cultural celebration rather than a political act. He compared current criticisms to historical resistance to Ganesh Puja during British rule and accused the Congress of harboring animosity towards the festival. The visit, which included a video of Modi being welcomed by CJI Chandrachud, has sparked debate over judicial transparency. The BJP has stressed the cultural significance of the visit amidst opposition scrutiny.

Atishi, unanimously selected as Delhi's first woman Chief Minister by AAP MLAs, promised to work towards re-electing Arvind Kejriwal in the next Assembly polls. Referring to Kejriwal as her "guru," she accused the BJP of filing "false cases" to destabilize the AAP government. In her first statement after her appointment, Atishi asserted, "Delhi has only one Chief Minister, and that is Arvind Kejriwal." She expressed gratitude for Kejriwal’s trust and vowed to continue his legacy by protecting welfare programs like education, health, and free electricity. The BJP criticized her, calling her a "puppet Chief Minister."
