Atishi, 43, is the youngest CM of Delhi. Earlier, Kejriwal became CM at the age of 45. Atishi is the third woman CM of Delhi after Sushma Swaraj and Sheila Dixit.
Mukesh Ahlawat is the only new face
After Atishi, Saurabh Bhardwaj, Gopal Rai, Kailash Gehlot, Imran Hussain and Mukesh Ahlawat took oath as ministers. Mukesh Ahlawat is the only new face in the cabinet.
Atishi is a three-time MLA from Kalkaji seat. AAP MLAs had finalized Atishi's name as CM after Kejriwal's resignation on September 17.
Atishi's parents, Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari attended the swearing-in ceremony.
'We will make Kejriwal CM again'
Atishi said- Arvind Kejriwal set an example of honesty and morality in the politics of this country by resigning from the post of CM. I don't think there has been any such leader in the whole world. All of us Delhiites have to make Arvind Kejriwal CM again in the assembly elections to be held in February.
