India’s opposition party leader Atishi Marlena takes oath as Delhi chief minister

NEW DELHI, Sept. 21 (Xinhua) — India’s opposition Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi Marlena on Saturday took oath as the new chief minister of Indian capital territory Delhi.
Atishi is the youngest leader to become Delhi’s chief minister. She held multiple portfolios in the previous Arvind Kejriwal government of Delhi.
Her opportunity to head Delhi’s local government arose due to Kejriwal’s resignation, following his bail from the country’s top court.
Atishi will be heading the Delhi government for a brief period as the local elections in Delhi are due in February next year. ■
