Atishi Marlena will take oath as the Chief Minister of Delhi on September 21. Other ministers will also take oath along with her. After the resignation of Arvind Kejriwal, the AAP Legislature Party had elected Atishi as its new leader. Atishi said on Tuesday that she is happy with the trust expressed in her by outgoing Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, but is also sad that she has resigned from her post. Let us tell you that Atishi will be the third woman Chief Minister of Delhi.
Atishi will be the third woman Chief Minister of Delhi
43-year-old Atishi will be the third woman Chief Minister of Delhi after Sushma Swaraj and Sheila Dixit. She is a prominent AAP leader and worked as an advisor when Manish Sisodia was the Education Minister. Also, Atishi was appointed to the Delhi Cabinet in March 2023 after Manish Sisodia's arrest in the excise policy case. However, now he has also been released on bail in this case.
Atishi will take oath after getting approval from the President
After getting approval from the President, Atishi will take oath as the Chief Minister of Delhi on Saturday. Technically, the entire cabinet is considered dissolved when the Chief Minister resigns. For this reason, along with Atishi, her entire cabinet will take oath. Some new MLAs will join this cabinet and some old ministers will be included.
Confidence vote will be presented
The Chief Minister will have the right to decide the names of the ministers and their departments. Sources say that Kejriwal cabinet ministers will be included in Atishi's cabinet. At the same time, at least two new faces will also be seen in the cabinet. Along with Atishi, her cabinet colleagues can also take oath. After this, a session of the Delhi Assembly can be called on 26 and 27 September. Where a confidence vote can also be presented. Also, the legislative process will be completed and issues related to Delhi will be discussed.
Mahila Samman Yojana in the first cabinet
The Delhi Chief Minister Mahila Samman Yojana can be passed in the first cabinet of the Delhi government being formed under the leadership of Atishi. It is also being speculated that the first cabinet meeting of the new government is to be held in the first week of October. Many topics will be discussed in this meeting. In this, Delhi Chief Minister Mahila Samman Yojana will be discussed prominently. For this scheme, the Delhi government has made a provision of Rs 2000 crore in the budget.
Target to give one thousand rupees every month
Under this scheme, the target is to give one thousand rupees every month to every woman above 18 years of age in Delhi. However, women who are employed or earning economic benefits will not get the benefit of this scheme. Apart from this, other issues related to public interest including the bill waiver scheme of Delhi Jal Board will be discussed.
Know about Delhi's new CM Atishi
Atishi was born on 8 June 1981. Both her parents have been professors in Delhi University (Atishi Mother Father). Father's name is Vijay Singh and mother's name is Tripta Singh.

But Atishi removed Marlena from her name before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, so that the confusion does not spread that she is a Christian. The opposition was making it an issue.
