Atishi was sworn in as the youngest Chief Minister of Delhi on September 21, 2024, days after her predecessor and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor resigned from the post.
Atishi holds the highest number of portfolios including Education, Finance, Revenue, Law. Recently, the CM had nominated her to hoist the Tricolour on Independence Day in his stead. However, it was rejected and the L-G nominated Gahlot to do so.
In 2015, days before the AAP expelled its founding members Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav, Atishi’s fortunes looked shaken too as she was seen as close to the two leaders. In the run-up to the development, the party decided to remove her from the party’s list of spokespersons, fearing she would side with Bhushan and Yadav. Within days, however, Atishi wrote a letter to the two leaders, accusing them of not trying to iron out differences. Picking Kejriwal’s side publicly, she started working as an advisor to Manish Sisodia in the Education Department.
A Rhodes scholar who studied history at Oxford University, she helped shape and implement several of the changes that the government effected in the city’s schools and classrooms. The transformation of schools went on to become one of the AAP’s key planks and something it continues to project as one of the things that sets it apart from other parties and governments.
A longtime professor of history at DU's Satyawati College and the father of fomer Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, Singh died on Friday. He was around 80. Colleagues said he had been unwell in recent years.
Malvinder Singh Kang, in his letter to PM Modi, has accused Mishra of attempting to “incite communal disharmony” by weaponising Sikh religious sentiments for political gain.
Amid protests and counter-protests, the controversy seems to have pitted the Punjab executive against the Delhi legislature, flaring up at a time when key Punjab players are gearing up for the 2027 polls
Amid the Atishi’s video’s controversy, the Speaker of the Delhi Vidhan Sabha issued notices to the Punjab Director General of Police, the Special DGP and the Jalandhar Police Commissioner, seeking their replies within 48 hours over the registration of the FIR.
Atishi, meanwhile, accused the BJP of lying. She posted two videos of her in the Assembly — one posted by AAP another by the BJP — terming them ‘genuine’ and ‘fake’ respectively.
