Arvind Kejriwal resigned from his position as Delhi's chief minister on Tuesday, handing over his resignation to Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena. AAP leader Atishi has been nominated as his successor and will be Delhi’s third woman chief minister.

The opposition leader spent almost six months locked up in relation to alleged irregularities in New Delhi's liquor policy.

Chief minister-designate Atishi on Friday urged the people of Delhi to choose Arvind Kejriwal to prevent a BJP government from increasing power tariffs in the national capital, assuring that she would protect them during the next four months.
