**New Delhi:** In a dramatic turn of events, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has resigned from his post, submitting his resignation letter to Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena. This comes just days after a political storm erupted over allegations against his close aide, Atishi, who has now been appointed as the new Chief Minister.

Speculation is rife about the reasons behind Kejriwal’s sudden resignation, with some suggesting that he is making way for Atishi to take the helm in a strategic move ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Others believe he is facing mounting pressure due to the ongoing investigation against his party colleague, Manish Sisodia.

The appointment of Atishi, a prominent AAP leader known for her policy expertise, has been met with mixed reactions. While some see her as a capable successor, others have raised concerns about her lack of political experience. The move has also sparked accusations of political maneuvering, with the BJP alleging that Atishi’s appointment was orchestrated by Sisodia to escape scrutiny.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has taken notice of the ongoing bulldozer actions across the country, imposing a nationwide ban except in specific cases. The court has also expressed its concern over the safety of female doctors in West Bengal, demanding that the state government provide adequate security measures.

As the political landscape in Delhi continues to shift, the focus now turns to Atishi’s leadership and her ability to navigate the complex challenges ahead. With the Lok Sabha elections looming, the stage is set for a high-stakes political battle.
