Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi on Saturday took oath as the new Chief Minister of Delhi, days after Arvind Kejriwal got bail in the Delhi liquor policy case and subsequently announced his surprise resignation.
Atishi is the youngest leader to become Delhi's Chief Minister and also the third woman chief minister after Congress leader Sheila Dikshit and BJP's Sushma Swaraj.
Before she took oath, she and AAP leaders who are part of her Cabinet met Kejriwal.
Mukesh Ahlawat, a first-time MLA from Sultanpur Majra, is the new face in Atishi's Cabinet. The others are Gopal Rai, Imran Hussain, Kailash Gahlot and Saurabh Bharadwaj. All of them took oath as new ministers.
Atishi was administered the oath as the eighth Chief Minister of Delhi by Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena. Atishi, however, will have a brief tenure in office as assembly elections in the national Capital are due in February.
