Atishi Resigns as Delhi CM, LG Asks Her to Continue Until New Government Forms

In a major political development, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi has submitted her resignation, but Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena has urged her to continue in office until a new government is formed. The resignation comes amid growing political uncertainty in Delhi, adding to the challenges faced by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led administration.

 

Atishi’s Resignation Amid Political Turmoil

Atishi, a senior leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), was appointed as Delhi CM following recent political upheavals within the party. However, her sudden resignation has raised questions about the stability of the current administration. Sources suggest that the resignation is linked to internal party conflicts and governance challenges.

 

While submitting her resignation, Atishi reportedly cited political and administrative difficulties in running the government effectively. However, Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has asked her to continue in the role until a new government is formed to prevent a constitutional crisis.

 

Delhi’s Political Landscape in Crisis

The resignation of the Chief Minister comes at a time when the AAP government is facing multiple challenges, including legal battles, leadership disputes, and governance issues. With Delhi Assembly elections approaching, the party is under pressure to restructure its leadership and strengthen its position.

 

Political analysts believe that Atishi’s resignation could be a sign of deeper divisions within AAP and may impact the party’s electoral prospects.

 

A senior political expert stated:

 

“Atishi’s resignation shows the ongoing instability in Delhi’s governance. The delay in forming a new government will only add to the confusion and weaken the administration.”

 

Lieutenant Governor’s Stand & Next Steps

After receiving Atishi’s resignation, LG VK Saxena has requested her to remain in office until a new Chief Minister is appointed. The Delhi Constitution mandates a smooth transition of power, making it necessary for an interim arrangement until a new leadership is finalized.

 

Political insiders suggest that the AAP leadership is now discussing potential replacements, with names of senior ministers and trusted party members being considered for the Chief Minister’s post.

 

Reactions from Political Circles

The resignation has triggered sharp reactions from opposition parties, with the BJP and Congress criticizing AAP’s governance.

 

🔸 The BJP has called it a “failure of leadership”, demanding fresh elections in Delhi.

🔸 The Congress has stated that AAP’s internal conflicts are harming governance in the capital.

🔸 AAP leaders, however, have assured that the government will continue functioning smoothly despite Atishi’s resignation.

 

A BJP spokesperson remarked:

 

“AAP has completely failed to govern Delhi. Frequent leadership changes show their inability to manage the administration effectively. The people of Delhi deserve a stable government.”

 

Meanwhile, AAP supporters have defended Atishi, calling her a competent leader who faced undue political pressure during her tenure.

 

What Happens Next?

With Atishi’s resignation pending LG approval, the following scenarios may unfold:

 

✅ AAP will propose a new CM candidate, and the LG will approve the appointment.

✅ If no immediate replacement is found, Delhi may witness President’s Rule until elections.

✅ AAP leadership will meet soon to finalize its next move in government formation.

 

The political uncertainty in Delhi is expected to continue until a clear leadership decision is made.
