AAP leader and former Delhi chief minister Atishi was today chosen as the Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly. Not only is this the first time a woman has been chosen for the role, but the upcoming assembly session will witness a woman Leader of Opposition take on a woman Delhi Chief Minister for the first time in history.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Atishi was chosen as the Leader of Opposition at AAP’s legislative meeting today where MLA Sanjeev Jha proposed her name for the key post.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Thanks to Aam Aadmi Party’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and the Legislative Party for trusting me. A strong Opposition raises the voice of the people. The Aam Aadmi Party will fulfil all the promises made by BJP,” Atishi said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first session of the Delhi Assembly will begin on Monday. In the three-day session, the ruling BJP government has said that pending CAG reports against the performance of the previous AAP government will be tabled in the House.<\/p>\n
The BJP returned to power in the national capital by emerging victorious in the February 5 elections, winning 48 of the 70 assembly seats, while AAP managed to secure 22 and the Congress scored a duck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Atishi retained her Kalkaji constituency seat against BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri, however, several top AAP leaders including Mr Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia lost the elections.\u00a0
