Though a section of the party credits her loyalty to the leader and gender as the reason for her elevation, Atishi's whirlwind journey from a young activist to chief minister is a result of her intellect, determination, commitment to public service and the ability to work hard.
She has shown an unwavering commitment to improving the lives of the people and represents a new generation of highly educated political leaders who are focused on transforming society for the better.
A winner of two coveted scholarships-Chevening and Rhodes to study at the prestigious Magdalen College of the Oxford University, and a Delhi University topper in history from St Stephen's College, Atishi brought her academic excellence to the Delhi education system and the transformative impact of her efforts is widely appreciated.
Upon her return from the UK, Atishi started working with an NGO in Madhya Pradesh, where she came in contact with lawyer-activist Prashant Bhushan who got her involved with the Anna Hazare movement.
