Arvind Kejriwal Resignation LIVE Updates: Arvind Kejriwal resigned today as the Chief Minister of Delhi. Senior AAP leader Atishi, who is currently serving as the Delhi Education Minister, will take up the top post after Mr Kejriwal steps down. Mr Kejriwal, who was granted bail in the Delhi liquor police case on Friday, had announced he will not return to the top post until his party is re-elected in the upcoming state polls - which he said will be the "people's order".
At the meeting of AAP MLAs today, party leader Dilip Pandey proposed that Mr Kejriwal decide on the Chief Minister face. When the AAP national convener proposed Ms Atishi's name, all AAP MLAs stood up and accepted it and Ms Atishi was elected leader of the legislature party.
Ms Atishi now holds key portfolios in the Delhi government such as Education and Public Works Department. An Oxford University alumnus and a Rhodes scholar, Ms Atishi has worked extensively in the AAP's flagship exercise to overhaul education in Delhi's schools.
