Atishi, who retained her Kalkaji seat in the recent elections, submitted her resignation to Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena at Raj Niwas, officials confirmed.

The LG’s office stated that Saxena has requested Atishi to continue as chief minister until a new government takes charge.

The BJP is expected to stake its claim to power next week after Prime Minister Narendra Modi returns from an overseas visit, party leaders said.

“Hon’ble Lt Governor, Shri VK Saxena today received the resignation of Hon’ble CM, Ms Atishi. He asked her to continue in her position till the formation of the new government,” Raj Niwas, Delhi posted on its official X handle.

The LG officially dissolved the Delhi Assembly on February 8.

A notification issued by the assembly secretariat a day earlier stated, “In exercise of the power conferred upon me by sub-section (2)(b) of section 6 of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 1991, I, Vinai Kumar Saxena, Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, hereby dissolve the Seventh Legislative Assembly of the National Capital Territory of Delhi with effect from February 8, 2025.”

The BJP secured a decisive victory in the Delhi Assembly elections, returning to power after 26 years. The party won 48 out of 70 seats, while AAP secured 22 seats. The Congress failed to win any.

Atishi had taken over as chief minister in September last year following the resignation of AAP convenor and former CM Arvind Kejriwal, who stepped down amid corruption allegations.

AAP spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar stated on Sunday that the party will function as a responsible opposition in Delhi.

“We accept the people’s mandate with humility. AAP is a party that learns from its mistakes and works to improve. We will analyze the reasons for our reduced vote share,” she said.

“We will act as a strong opposition and ensure the BJP is held accountable for the promises they have made to the people of Delhi,” she added.

Well-known UPSC teacher Avadh Ojha has joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) just ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections. He was welcomed into the party by Arvind Kejriwal, AAP’s leader and former Chief Minister of Delhi, in the presence of senior leader Manish Sisodia.

Speaking at the event, Ojha said he was excited to work with AAP because of its focus on improving education. “I want to thank Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia for giving me this chance. My dream has always been to improve education and work for the future of children,” Ojha said.

Kejriwal shared how Ojha’s joining would help the party’s work in education. “Education is at the heart of what we do. With Avadh Ojha on board, we can make it even better. When education gets better, the country becomes stronger,” he said. Sisodia also welcomed Ojha and said it was a proud moment for the party. “Ojha has done amazing work in education, and I’ve dedicated my life to this field too. Together, we can bring real change,” he added.
Who is Avadh Ojha?

Avadh Ojha is a popular teacher known for helping students prepare for the UPSC exams. He comes from Gonda in Uttar Pradesh and started his teaching career after facing challenges with his own UPSC journey. He began teaching at coaching centers in Allahabad and later became famous for his online classes during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Ojha’s teaching style, which mixes history, current events, and world affairs, has made him a favorite among students. In 2019, he set up IQRA IAS Academy in Pune to help students prepare for civil service exams. He has also taught at top coaching institutes in New Delhi.
AAP’s Commitment to Education

The Aam Aadmi Party has always focused on improving schools and education. Under Kejriwal’s leadership, government schools in Delhi have seen big changes. With Ojha now part of the team, the party hopes to do even more to improve education and support students.

As the Delhi elections come closer, AAP is putting education at the center of its plans, and Ojha’s expertise is expected to make a big difference.
