She was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Delhi at Raj Niwas on September 21.

Atishi continues to hold the 13 portfolios she oversaw in the Kejriwal government, including education, revenue, finance, power, and PWD.
Atishi after taking charge stated, “I will work for four months as the chief minister of Delhi like Bharat did by keeping Lord Ram’s Khadaun on the throne. Arvind Kejriwal has set an example of dignity in politics by stepping down. The BJP left no stone unturned to tarnish his image”.
Atishi used a different chair than the one Kejriwal had used.
“Hope people will bring back Kejriwal in February polls, his chair will remain in the CM office till then,” she stated.
