In her first
remarks after taking oath, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi hit out at the BJP on Saturday for hatching a "conspiracy" against her predecessor
Arvind Kejriwal and urged the people of the capital to ensure that the AAP national convenor returns to the top post again after the
Assembly polls due early next year.
Addressing a press conference here, Atishi said it is an "emotional day" for her as Kejriwal will not
continue to be the chief minister.
"It is an emotional moment for me as he will not be the chief minister
He understood the pain of every person
He ensured free treatment for people, worked to improve the lives of the students of government schools, brought the provision of free bus
Kejriwal as her "guru" and thanked him for giving her this opportunity.
With the Assembly polls due early next year, Atishi said the
people of the national capital must ensure that Kejriwal becomes the chief minister again so that the free services like free electricity
and water continue.
She accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of trying to stop the facilities being enjoyed by people under the
Kejriwal government.
"I assure you that since Kejriwal has come out of jail now, we will not let any conspiracy of the BJP succeed," she
said.
Atishi hailed Kejriwal for setting an example in morality by stepping down as the chief minister despite getting bail from Supreme
Court in the excise policy case.(Only the headline and picture of this report may have been reworked by the Business Standard staff; the
