Opposition labels Atishi as ‘dummy' CM

Atishi Singh's choice to avoid sitting on the official chair has sparked criticism from opposition leaders, who have labelled her a 'dummy' Chief Minister, working under Arvind Kejriwal's influence.

The new chief minister of Delhi, Atishi Singh, has become the centre of attention since assuming office as the eighth chief minister of the national capital, following Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal's resignation. She drew widespread attention with her remark that she would not sit on the chief minister's official chair but instead on a white chair, placed next to Kejriwal's chair.

Atishi compared her role to that of Bharat from the Ramayana, who ruled Ayodhya in Lord Ram's absence by placing Ram's 'khadaun' (wooden slippers) on the throne. Her statement sparked criticism from the opposition; Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva labelled her a "dummy CM" controlled by Kejriwal, implying she operates under his direction.

Sachdeva criticised Atishi for what he described as an "insult" to constitutional norms and the office of the chief minister.

He stated, "What she did was not ideal. Her gesture not only disrespected the role of chief minister but also hurt the sentiments of the people of Delhi." Sachdeva demanded an answer from Kejriwal, questioning if he plans to run the government by remote control.
