Delhi Politics: Delhi, the capital of the country, has once again found a female Chief Minister. Today (20 February), Rekha Gupta will be corresponded as the Chief Minister. A grand swearing -in ceremony of the new government has been held at the historic Ramlila Maidan. On the one hand, discussions are about the grand eclipse ceremony of the BJP government. On the other hand, questions are coming in the minds of people in many ways about the future of Aam Aadmi Party. Will Atishi get the command of AAP after a crushing defeat in Delhi elections? At the same time, all kinds of speculation about Kejriwal’s political future continues.
The Aam Aadmi Party was in power in Delhi for the last 11 years. The AAP won the historic victory in the 2015 and 2020 elections. In such a situation, the party would not have expected that the 2025 elections will bring such a big shock. AAP, which won 62 out of 70 seats in the year 2020, was reduced to 22 seats this time.
Kejriwal-Sisodia lost … but Atishi won
For the Aam Aadmi Party, the result of this time the assembly elections brought a big shock. Also, veteran leaders like Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Satyendra Jain, Saurabh Bhardwaj and Somnath Bharti lost their seats. Meanwhile, Atishi was the big face of AAP, who managed to save her seat. Atishi won from Kalkaji seat.
Why Atishi’s strongest claim for the Leader of Opposition?
Now AAP has to choose the Leader of Opposition. Apart from Atishi in the Delhi Assembly, Gopal Rai and Imran Hussain are the leaders of AAP who can hold the post of opposition. Among all this, Atishi’s claim is considered to be the strongest. This is because Atishi took over as Chief Minister after Kejriwal resigned. Along with being a female face, she is also counted in Kejriwal’s trusted. She is aggressive on BJP on all issues. In such a situation, discussions are in full swing that Atishi can be entrusted with the responsibility of Leader of Opposition.
Will Kejriwal leave Delhi and go to Punjab?
Despite losing the elections of big faces like Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, his stature seems to be growing in the party with the victory of Atishi. However, in the meantime, the question is also what will happen to Arvind Kejriwal’s political future?
AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal could not save his New Delhi seat this time. BJP’s Pravesh Verma defeated him in the election. Since the defeat, there are constant discussions that Arvind Kejriwal can take exit from Delhi politics. Many BJP and Congress leaders have also said that now Kejriwal can leave Delhi and go to Punjab. Constant claims are being made that he will remove Bhagwant Mann and become the CM there. Punjab is the only state where AAP is currently in power.
A few hours after the defeat in the election, an important meeting of ministers and MLAs of Punjab was convened in Delhi, which intensified the political movement. At present, the Aam Aadmi Party seems to be denying these claims outright. But what will happen in future, who knows this.
