Delhi Election 2025: A new chapter is about to begin in Delhi's political landscape as Chief Minister Atishi, aiming to become Delhi's third female Chief Minister after Sushma Swaraj and Sheila Dikshit, will file her nomination from the Kalkaji seat today, January 13. Contesting on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ticket, Atishi faces b opposition from the BJP's Ramesh Bidhuri and Congress' Alka Lamba. A close contest is anticipated at the Kalkaji constituency.
CM Atishi's Message of Blessing on X
CM Atishi expressed gratitude for the love and support she has received from the people of Kalkaji in a post on her X (formerly Twitter) account. She stated, "I have received immense love from my family in Kalkaji over the past five years. I am confident that their blessings will remain with me."
Rally and Nomination Filled with Enthusiasm
Atishi will hold a rally today alongside filing her nomination. The rally will commence at the Gurudwara and proceed to the South East District Officer's Office in Kirti Nagar. During the rally, she intends to convey a message to the Sikh community. Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia will also be present at the event.
Prayer at Kalkaji Temple Before Nomination
Prior to the nomination rally, Atishi offered prayers at the Kalkaji temple. This nomination marks her as one of the prominent leaders in Delhi's political arena.
Atishi's Political Journey
Atishi's political journey began in 2013 with her joining the Aam Aadmi Party. Initially, she served as an advisor to Education Minister Manish Sisodia. Subsequently, in the 2020 Delhi Assembly elections, she secured the Kalkaji ticket and defeated BJP's Dharambir Singh by a margin of 11,422 votes.
Possibilities for the CM Post
Atishi, currently serving as the Education, PWD, Culture, and Tourism Minister in Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's government, is now vying for the position of Delhi's eighth Chief Minister. Should the Aam Aadmi Party win the elections again, it will be interesting to see if Atishi assumes the Chief Ministership, or if Arvind Kejriwal will retain the leadership.
