Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation from the post of Delhi Chief Minister has stirred political waves in the capital. As the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) faces a critical juncture, the question remains—who will succeed Kejriwal?
Atishi:
A strong advocate for social reforms, Atishi is a prominent face in AAP. Since Kejriwal’s arrest, she has been responsible for overseeing 14 major departments, including education and finance, making her a prime contender for the Chief Minister’s role.
Gopal Rai:
A seasoned politician with roots in student activism, Gopal Rai has been a key figure in Delhi’s governance. His efforts in environmental and labour rights have garnered broad support, positioning him as a viable candidate for the Chief Minister’s position.
Kailash Gahlot:
The current Transport Minister, Kailash Gahlot, has made significant strides in improving Delhi’s infrastructure. His administrative expertise and successful implementation of transport reforms make him a strong contender for the post of Delhi’s next Chief Minister.
Sunita Kejriwal:
Arvind Kejriwal’s wife, Sunita Kejriwal, a former IRS officer, has shown her leadership during key AAP campaigns. While her non-political background and current constitutional restrictions may present hurdles, she could still emerge as a possible candidate under certain conditions.
