As the eighth chief minister of Delhi, senior AAP leader Atishi was administered oath by Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena on Saturday at Raj Niwas. She is now Delhi's third woman chief minister after Congress' Sheila Dikshit and BJP's Sushma Swaraj.

In a sharp reaction to the appointment of Atishi as Delhi’s new Chief Minister, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva has raised concerns about the continuity of governance issues under her leadership.

In her first address after taking the oath, Atishi urged people of Delhi to re-elect her predecessor to the top office

The AAP leader is the third woman CM of the national capital after late Sushma Swaraj and Sheila Dikshit. At 43, Atishi is also the youngest CM in Delhi’s history, surpassing Kejriwal, who was 45 when he first took office.

AAP leader Atishi became the 17th woman chief minister in the country and the third woman Chief Minister of Delhi as she took oath on Saturday.

Atishi was sworn in as the chief minister of Delhi at Raj Niwas, days after Arvind Kejriwal stepped down from his post

Atishi Marlena took oath as Delhi's third woman chief minister, drawing criticism from BJP leaders who labeled her a 'dummy CM' under Arvind Kejriwal's control. Despite this, Atishi must address key issues and implement important policies ahead of the assembly elections scheduled for February next year.

Chief Minister-designate Atishi will be sworn in along with her new Council of Ministers during a ceremony at the Raj Niwas on Saturday afternoon that will see AAP form the government in Delhi for the fourth time in a row.
