Atishi Sworn in as Delhi CM, Warns of Power Costs

Atishi has been sworn in as the eighth Chief Minister of Delhi following Arvind Kejriwal's resignation and vows to govern with a focus on continuity until the upcoming elections. She likened her role to Bharat in the Hindu epic Ramayana, symbolically placing an empty chair next to hers for Kejriwal and urging Delhiites to re-elect him. Atishi warned that failure to re-elect Kejriwal could lead to increased electricity prices and service cuts similar to those in BJP-governed Uttar Pradesh. The BJP criticized Atishi's appointment, calling her a 'remote control CM' and accusing the AAP of corruption and mismanagement. Kejriwal's resignation was portrayed as an act of moral and ethical leadership, with Atishi emphasizing the importance of his return. The new cabinet retains key members from Kejriwal's government, ensuring stability in governance during the transition.
