Senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi stepped down as the Delhi chief minister on Sunday, a day after the AAP suffered a drubbing in the assembly elections in the Capital.
NEW DELHI:
Atishi handed over a letter of resignation to Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena during a meeting at Raj Niwas, who in turn forwarded it to President Droupadi Murmu for acceptance — Delhi is a Union territory, and thus, the appointing authority of the chief minister is the President.
The LG's office said Saxena has asked Atishi to continue as the caretaker chief minister till the formation of a new government.
"Hon'ble Lt Governor, Shri VK Saxena today received the resignation of Hon'ble CM, Ms Atishi. He asked her to continue in her position till the formation of the new government," the official social media account of Raj Niwas, Delhi posted on X.
