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."
