Senior AAP leader Atishi was administered oath as the eighth Chief Minister of Delhi by Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena on Saturday

Atishi is the third woman to become Chief Minister of Delhi and also the youngest to hold the top post. Her succession to the CM post followed Kejriwal’s resignation as the Chief Minister after his bail in the liquor policy scam by the Supreme Court.

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, sworn in as Delhi's new Chief Minister along with five cabinet ministers, urged the public to ensure Arvind Kejriwal's return. She criticized the BJP for conspiring against him and highlighted Kejriwal's contributions.

The Kalkaji MLA's name was proposed by Kejriwal, who tendered his resignation as Chief Minister, for the top post.

BJP leaders extended their best wishes to Atishi on becoming the chief minister of Delhi but expressed skepticism about any positive change. They criticized her past performance and anticipated continued issues under her leadership.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, along with five cabinet ministers, took the oath of office on Saturday and requested people to ensure that her predecessor, Arvind Kejriwal, returns to the top post again

Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta on Saturday asserted that people of the national capital had finally been liberated from Arvind Kejriwal after Atishi took oath as the new Chief Minister.

In her first remarks after taking oath, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi hit out at the BJP on Saturday for hatching a "conspiracy" against her predecessor Arvind Kejriwal and urged the people of the capital to ensure that the AAP national convenor returns to the top post again after the Assembly polls due early next year.
