New Delhi: Delhi chief minister Atishi is all set to resign from her post today. She will submit her resignation to lieutenant governor VK Saxena at the Raj Bhavan at around 11am.
Her resignation comes just a day after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) suffered a massive defeat at the hands of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the assembly elections in the capital. BJP won 48 of the 70 seats, while AAP was limited to 22 seats. The results marked the end of AAP’s decade-long dominance in the capital’s political landscape.
While most of the AAP leadership suffered defeat, including national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, Atishi was able to retain her Kalkaji constituency.
More details awaited
