Atishi Marlena has been appointed as the new Chief Minister of Delhi, taking over the reins after Arvind Kejriwal's resignation. Here’s an analysis of why Atishi was seen as the most suitable candidate for this role:

  1. Handling Key Ministries Amid Crisis: Following Arvind Kejriwal's arrest in the liquor policy scam, Atishi took charge of a dozen important ministries in Delhi. These were ministries Kejriwal was particularly concerned about, and Atishi managed them efficiently, showcasing her leadership abilities and gaining trust within the party.

  2. Close Guidance from Kejriwal: Atishi frequently visited Kejriwal in jail to seek his guidance. During the absence of Kejriwal and other senior AAP leaders, she was the one maintaining communication with the public and handling media interactions. Her ability to manage the situation during this challenging period proved her competence.

  3. Kejriwal’s Trust in Atishi: Atishi's significance in the party was further highlighted when Kejriwal pushed her name forward for hoisting the national flag on August 15, showcasing the high level of trust he placed in her leadership.

Atishi's steady rise in the AAP and her ability to manage Delhi's administration during a crisis played a crucial role in her appointment as the Chief Minister of Delhi. Her appointment signals continuity in the governance of the national capital under the AAP leadership.
