The change in leadership follows Arvind Kejriwal's resignation, after the Supreme Court granted him interim bail in the excise policy case. During her inaugural speech, Atishi expressed deep admiration for Kejriwal, calling on the people of Delhi to re-elect him as their leader. "Arvind Kejriwal transformed the lives of Delhi's people. Our mission now is to bring him back as Chief Minister," she stated. A video from the ceremony showed Atishi touching Kejriwal's feet after taking the oath, highlighting her respect and gratitude for his leadership. Atishi's tenure is expected to be brief, with Delhi Assembly elections scheduled for February 2025. Nonetheless, her swearing-in marks a historic moment for Delhi, ushering in a new era of youthful leadership.
