STC NEWS MONITORING DESK
SRINAGAR , FEBRUARY 09 (STC): AAP leader Atishi on Sunday submitted her resignation from the Chief Minister’s post following the party’s defeat in the Delhi Assembly elections at the hands of the BJP, reports IANS.
She submitted her resignation to LG V.K. Saxena at the Delhi Secretariat.
Atishi, a key strategist for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), managed to retain her Kalkaji seat, defeating BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri by a margin of 3,521 votes.
However, senior leaders OF AAP including Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, and party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal suffered shocking defeats.
The BJP stormed to power in Delhi on Saturday, ending AAP’s decade-long dominance in the capital. The landslide victory not only marks the end of the Kejriwal-led governance model but also signals a shift in public sentiment — where freebies and sops no longer guarantee electoral success. (STC)
