NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has appointed Atishi as the leader of opposition in the Delhi assembly, a significant move in the current political landscape where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) holds a majority with 48 MLAs. Atishi, a prominent AAP leader and former Chief Minister of Delhi, successfully retained her Kalkaji seat in a fiercely contested election against former BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri and Congress leader Alka Lamba.
The BJP formed the government last Wednesday, naming Shalimar Bagh MLA Rekha Gupta as Delhi’s chief minister, marking her as the fourth woman to take on this role in the national capital. This victory for the BJP comes after a 27-year hiatus from power, as they defeated key AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal in New Delhi, Manish Sisodia in Jangpura, and Saurabh Bharadwaj in Greater Kailash.

Atishi’s appointment as the leader of opposition represents a crucial counterbalance to the BJP’s majority. Her experience and leadership skills will be pivotal as AAP seeks to navigate the challenges ahead.
