In a surprising move, Arvind Kejriwal has resigned as the Chief Minister of Delhi, just before completing his second term.

This unexpected resignation has sent shockwaves through the political landscape. While the exact reasons for Kejriwal’s decision remain unclear, speculation is rife about the potential impact on Delhi’s political scene.
The AAP, known for its focus on education and healthcare reforms, has gained considerable popularity under Kejriwal’s leadership. It remains to be seen whether Atishi Marlena can maintain this momentum and continue the party’s success.
The news of Kejriwal’s resignation comes amidst a flurry of other political developments, including the ongoing Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, where voter turnout is expected to be high after a 10-year hiatus.
The political landscape continues to shift, with various events shaping the future of India’s diverse political scene.
