Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi will take oath as the new Chief Minister of Delhi today at 4.30 pm along with her council of ministers at Raj Niwas. According to sources, the oath-taking ceremony will be a low-key affair as the mood in the party is not upbeat because of Arvind Kejriwal's resignation and also because of the delay in approvals,

Atishi succeeds Kejriwal amid legal turmoil. Atishi will succeed Arvind Kejriwal, who resigned as CM on Friday after being granted bail by the Supreme Court in a corruption case.

Delhi’s new chief minister Atishi, till some years ago, would feel uncomfortable when referred to as a politician. Coming from an apolitical background, she would feel embarrassed to be called a politician and would rather be described as a political activist.

PM Modi virtually distributed sanction letters to 32,000 Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin beneficiaries and announced ₹32 crores for house construction on September 15.
