Make Arvind Kejriwal Chief Minister of Delhi again, says Atishi in 1st speech after taking oath

New Delhi: Atishi was sworn in as Chief Minister along with five ministers on Saturday in a low-key function at the Lieutenant Governor’s office, days after Arvind Kejriwal resigned from the top post in a political move aimed at regaining ruling AAP’s perceived sliding fortunes.

Along with Atishi, five cabinet ministers -- four from the previous ministry and a new face -- were also sworn in during the ceremony. Atishi’s new council of ministers includes Gopal Rai, Kailash Gahlot, Saurabh Bharadwaj, Imran Hussain, and new entrant Mukesh Ahlawat, a first-time MLA from Sultanpur Majra.

Atishi took oath as Delhi's third woman chief minister on Saturday, becoming the youngest to hold the top office. She follows the BJP's Sushma Swaraj and the Congress' Sheila Dikshit. She serves alongside West Bengal's Mamata Banerjee,

Atishi held 13 major portfolios in the Cabinet headed by outgoing CM Arvind Kejriwal, including finance, revenue, PWD and education.

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.
