1 Delhi CM: No historical leader has ever taken the step

1.1 No historical leader has ever taken the step

1.2 I feel sorrowful

Following the selection of the new Chief Minister of Delhi by Arvind Kejriwal, Atishi appeared in public for the first time at the residence of Arvind Kejriwal. She expressed gratitude towards AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal for having faith in her and offering her a rapid chance to serve as the Chief Minister of Delhi.

Expressing gratitude towards her mentor Kejriwal, Atishi affirmed that the AAP chief will continue to hold the position of Delhi’s CM, while she will operate the government with his guidance. Atishi mentioned that the people living in the national capital feel deeply unhappy about Arvind Kejriwal stepping down from his position. She requested that people refrain from congratulating or honoring her because it was a sorrowful moment for Delhi when its beloved Chief Minister Kejriwal had to step down.

No historical leader has ever taken the step

Atishi pointed out that only Arvind Kejriwal would have the bravery to step down from the Chief Minister position so quickly. She mentioned that if another person were in Kejriwal’s position today, they would have considered making that decision many times. Nevertheless, no historical leader has ever taken the step that Kejriwal did by resigning from the Chief Minister’s role.

I feel sorrowful

The new Delhi CM mentioned that she hails from a regular family and if she had been in a different party, she might not have even been offered a chance to run for election. However, Arvind Kejriwal showed faith in me, appointed me as an MLA and a minister, and has now entrusted me with the role of the CM. I am delighted that Arvind Kejriwal has shown such confidence in me. However, I feel sorrowful due to the fact that Delhi CM and my older sibling, Arvind Kejriwal, is stepping down today. She mentioned that Arvind Kejriwal is the only Chief Minister of Delhi, speaking on behalf of all AAP MLAs and the 2 crore residents of the city.
