Atishi Marlena Singh will now be the new CM of Delhi

Atishi Marlena Singh will now be the new CM of Delhi after Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation was submitted to LG V K Saxena yesterday evening on the 17th of September 2024. Aam Aadmi Party national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Resigned from the post of Chief Minister. After his release on bail, he announced his resignation within two days. From then onward, doubts were going on whether he would resign. Moreover, discussions were going on that who would be the next CM.

Earlier before his resignation, Arvind Kejriwal proposed the name of Atishi during the meeting of the Aam Aadmi Party Legislative Party called at the Chief Minister’s residence. After this, the MLAs unanimously approved Atishi for the post of Chief Minister. Now Atishi will take over the responsibility of the post of Chief Minister of Delhi after taking oath.

Atishi praised Kejriwal

Atishi praised Kejriwal after being selected for the post of Chief Minister. She said that if she had joined any other party, she would not have even got the election ticket. But Arvind Kejriwal not only made her an MLA but also put forward her name for the post of Minister and now Chief Minister. Atishi further said that even after this she is not at all happy. Because Kejriwal is being continuously harassed by the BJP. Moreover, the BJP is misusing the investigating agencies against him.

Atishi insisted not to congratulate her. This is the same Kejriwal, who did remarkable work towards providing better education and health to the people of Delhi. But, it is sad that Kejriwal is being harassed by BJP. But, we will keep fighting this battle.

Atishi will be the third woman CM of Delhi

Atishi will become the 17th woman CM of the country and the third woman CM of Delhi. Currently, Atishi is the MLA from Kalka. In 2020 she became an MLA. Furthermore, in 2023 she became a minister and now in 2024, she is going to become the Chief Minister of Delhi. Atishi will become the eighth Chief Minister of Delhi.

Till now, there have been seven Chief Ministers in Delhi so far. Out of these, two women Chief Ministers have taken charge. Sushma Swaraj from BJP was the first woman CM of Delhi. Afterwards, Sheila Dikshit from Congress became the Chief Minister of Delhi. Moreover, Sheila Dikshit has a record of being a woman Chief Minister for the longest period. She ruled for 15 years and 25 days.

Controversies

Swati Maliwal openly criticized the selection of Atishi as CM of Delhi. She posted on X regarding her sadness. She stated that today is a very sad day for Delhi. Today, a woman is being made the Chief Minister of Delhi whose family fought a long battle to save terrorist Afzal from hanging. Moreover, Swati wrote that Atishi’s parents wrote mercy petitions to the Honorable President to save terrorist Afzal. According to Atishi’s Parents, Afzal was innocent and he was implicated in a political conspiracy. Furthermore, Swati stated that Atishi Marlena is just a ‘Dummy CM’, yet this issue is related to the security of the country. May God protect Delhi!

Earlier Swati Maliwal registered a case on Bibhav Kuma r a personal assistant to Arvind Kejriwal.

Former MLA of Aam Aadmi Party and now Vice President of the Delhi BJP Kapil Mishra said that Atishi’s family had tried to stop the hanging of terrorist Afzal. Moreover, Kejriwal is sinning imposing a Naxalite mentality on Delhi through the backdoor. Today Aam Aadmi Party is choosing a CM who never had any connection with the Anna movement and India Against Corruption. The people of Delhi will never accept a Naxalite Communist Chief Minister. Other Leaders of the BJP also stated against Atishi.

On the other hand, Bibhav Kumar has already said in his police complaint that Swati Maliwal breached the security of the CM House and forcefully entered the CM House. Before his arrest, Bibhav had filed a petition for anticipatory bail in the court, which was cancelled.

On Saturday morning, the Civil Line police station arrested Bibhav Kumar from the Chief Minister’s residence. He has been accused of assaulting Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal inside the CM’s residence on May 13.

Swati Maliwal accuses Kejriwal of assaulting her

Swati Maliwal has accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of assaulting her that too in the Delhi CM house. Later she accused Kejriwal’s private secretary (PA) Bibhav Kumar of allegedly assaulting her. It’s a pretty serious allegation, and I’m sure many people are curious to know more about what happened.

Who is Swati Maliwal?

Swati Maliwal is an Indian activist known for her work in the field of women’s rights and social justice. She has been associated with various campaigns and initiatives aimed at combating issues such as gender-based violence, sexual harassment, and discrimination against women.

Delhi Women’s Commission Chairperson Swati Maliwal has in the past also accused her father of sexually abusing and beating her in her childhood. Moreover, she has divorced her husband Naveen. Swati Maliwal is also a Senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP.

Maliwal gained significant attention during her tenure as the Chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW), where she actively advocated for stronger laws and policies to protect women and girls. Furthermore, under her leadership, the DCW conducted numerous investigations into cases of violence against women and provided support to victims. Maliwal’s work has made her a prominent figure in the fight for women’s rights in India.

Delhi Police received a call from Swati Maliwal

Senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal has accused CM Arvind Kejriwal’s secretary (PA) Bibhav Kumar of allegedly assaulting her. It is being told that Swati has called Delhi Police. When the police team reached Delhi CM Kejriwal’s house Swati left CM’s house and reached the police station.

The police control room received a call around 9:30 am on Monday. In this, the caller said I am Swati Maliwal. The CM and his PA beat him up in the CM House. After this, in another call, while correcting, it was told that on the instructions of the Chief Minister, his PA Bibhav had assaulted me. According to the information received, altogether 2 PCR calls have been made. The first call was made at 9:31 and the second call was made at 9:39.

Delhi Police engaged in investigation

Giving information about this matter, Delhi Police has said that the call was made by Swati Maliwal only. Moreover, the call was made twice. Swati had made both the calls from her phone number. Police say that Swati had come to the Civil Line police station, and she told them about the incident. Swati Maliwal said that she would give a written complaint later. At present the matter is being investigated.

It is well known that Kejriwal and Swati Maliwal are old friends, very close and trusted colleagues. After Kejriwal was released from jail, Swati went to his home to meet him. However, Kejriwal’s PA slapped Swati. Therefore, it is a big deal for Kejriwal’s PA to attack him. What could be the possible reasons? Raising big questions about the reason. Is there some family reason?

BJP attacked Kejriwal

In this matter, the Bharatiya Janata Party has attacked CM Kejriwal.

BJP National Secretary, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, has launched a scathing attack on Kejriwal, accusing him of ordering the beating of AAP’s female Rajya Sabha MP, Swati Maliwal. According to Sirsa, there is sensational news coming from Arvind Kejriwal’s house that suggests that he instructed his PA, Vibhav, to arrange for Maliwal to be physically assaulted.

Delhi State President of the BJP Virendra Sachdeva posted on X. He said that the information is being received that Swati Maliwal was attacked at the behest of Kejriwal because Swati was asking Kejriwal some such questions which he did not want to answer. Kejriwal who talks about women’s safety, even his female MPs are not safe from him. I strongly condemn this attack on a female MP.

Additionally, Delhi Police had tightened security arrangements for the appearance of the Delhi Chief Minister. Police were already on alert at many places.

Delhi CM Kejriwal is not giving the password of digital data

The Enforcement Directorate has alleged that digital data is to be taken from Kejriwal. Moreover, he did not give the password of Data’s device. Furthermore, along with this, many people are yet to be interrogated face to face. In such a situation, seven more days of custody should be given.

Sunita Kejriwal claimed

Before that, Sunita Kejriwal wife of Arvind Kejriwal claimed that he would reveal the whereabouts of the funds. The CM’s wife, Sunita, said on Wednesday that her husband will make a “big revelation” on the alleged excise policy scam. Moreover, he will also present evidence.

Today Delhi CM Kejriwal revealed it with the due permission of the court. ASG Sv Raju said it is irrelevant.

After listening the court extended the remand for four days.

Delhi High Court decision on Delhi CM petition

The briefing of Sunita Kejriwal came on a day when the Delhi High Court heard Kejriwal’s plea challenging his arrest by the ED. His petition demanded his immediate release from ED arrest and subsequent remand.

However, in the court, the ED sought more time to prepare its reply to the petition. It was argued that the petition was given on Tuesday itself and he should be given three more weeks. Furthermore, Kejriwal’s counsel, senior advocate AM Singhvi, argued that ED’s asking for more time was just a delay tactic.

Delhi HC rejected Kejriwal’s interim plea to be released from ED custody. Moreover, Delhi HC asked to submit a reply on the 3rd of April 2024. The next hearing will be done on the 3rd of April 2024.
