Ever since AAP first came to power in Delhi in the winter of 2013 and more so after the 2015 win, Arvind Kejriwal has been both the national face of the party as well as the head of the Delhi government. Now, for the first time, the positions have become split with Atishi now heading the government instead of Kejriwal.

Atishi after being named as Delhi Chief Minister had addressed Arvind Kejriwal as her 'mentor' and had specified that she will have a brief tenure in office as assembly elections in the national capital are due in February.

As Atishi took over as the new Chief Minister of Delhi, Virendra Sachdeva, Delhi BJP Chief, hit out at Arvind Kejriwal over unfulfilled promises made by the Delhi Civic Body on the Ghazipur landfill site.

Atishi took oath as the new Chief Minister of Delhi on Saturday following the surprise resignation of Arvind Kejriwal. The new cabinet includes existing ministers and will serve briefly before assembly polls in February 2024.
