Delhi's Chief Minister Atishi addressed the press after taking the oath. During this time, she thanked Kejriwal. She stated that Kejriwal has entrusted her with the responsibility of caring for Delhi's people. While she has taken the oath as CM today, these are emotional moments for them since Kejriwal is no longer in the position. Over the past 10 years, Kejriwal has transformed Delhi's image and the lives of its common people. He understood the pain of the poor living in Delhi.
Atishi mentioned that Kejriwal has changed the future of children in government schools. He has enabled women in Delhi to progress in education and employment. Because of Kejriwal, people in Delhi no longer need to pawn their jewelry to get medical treatment for their family members, as government hospitals provide good care.
CM Atishi claimed that the BJP-led central government conspired against Kejriwal, filing false cases against him and keeping him in jail for more than six months. They tried every possible way to break him, but Kejriwal did not break. The Supreme Court granted him bail, even under a law (PMLA) where bail is nearly impossible.
Atishi emphasized that all Delhiites need to re-elect Kejriwal as CM in the upcoming February elections. If Kejriwal does not become CM, the free electricity currently enjoyed by Delhiites will be discontinued by the BJP. Government schools will deteriorate, mohalla clinics will shut down, medical treatment in hospitals will cease, and free bus travel for women will end. Since Kejriwal's incarceration, Delhi's people have faced difficulties. She assured that with Kejriwal now out of jail, they will not let any conspiracy by the BJP succeed.
