‘I will only work with one goal -- to make Kejriwal the CM again’

Hindustan Times  

Nominated by the Aam Aadmi Party legislative party as Delhi’s next chief minister, Atishi on Tuesday said her only objective as the Capital’s top elected officer is to make Kejriwal chief minister once again and to keep the government’s welfare schemes running. Atishi addresses the media outside Arvind Kejriwal’s residence in Civil Lines on Tuesday “The people of Delhi, the AAP MLAs and I, being the chief minister, will now work with only one objective till the elections take place in a few months — we have to make Arvind Kejriwal the chief minister of Delhi again,” said Atishi. “Delhi has only one chief minister, and his name is Arvind Kejriwal,” she said, adding that the AAP chief will become chief minister again only after the city’s residents vote his government into power during the next assembly elections, proving that they “trust his innocence”. The Delhi unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party alleged that “Atishi was going to be a puppet CM.” Meanwhile, an AAP leader said Atishi’s new cabinet will have the full strength – seven ministers, including the chief minister. On Tuesday, flanked by AAP MP and the party’s national general secretary Sandeep Pathak, Delhi state convenor and cabinet minister Gopal Rai, deputy speaker of Delhi legislative assembly Rakhi Birla, MLA Dilip Pandey, Sanjeev Jha, and other senior leaders, Atishi accused the BJP of running a “relentless campaign against including a baseless corruption”.
