"First of all, I would like to thank the popular CM of Delhi, AAP national convener and my guru - Arvind Kejriwal. He gave me such a huge responsibility and trusted me for it. This can be done only in AAP, only under the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal, that a first-time politician becomes the CM of a state. I come from an ordinary family. Had I been in any other party, perhaps I would not have been given even an election ticket. But Arvind Kejriwal trusted me, made me an MLA and a minister and today gave me the responsibility of the CM. I am happy that Arvind Kejriwal placed such trust in me. But I am also sad because Delhi CM and my elder brother, Arvind Kejriwal is resigning today. On behalf of all AAP MLAs and the 2 crore people of Delhi that there is just one CM of Delhi - Arvind Kejriwal."

    Atishi will be the CM of Delhi till the next Assembly elections: Gopal Rai

    "Today, Delhi AAP legislative party meeting was called. In the meeting, Atishi was unanimously given the responsibilities of the CM until next Delhi election. We had to give this responsibility under adverse situations. The manner in which BJP Govt at the Centre, entire BJP, PM of the country conspired and misused agencies to finish AAP. The manner in which govts in the country were toppled, similarly attempts were made to topple Delhi Govt. Thwarting all such attempts, AAP continued its unity and work. They attempted to have Arvind Kejriwal resign from the jail so that they could topple the govt. But in the interest of people of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal decided to not resign from the jail and run the govt from there...But after coming out of the jail, with his biggest strength - honesty, he did for the people of Delhi what no other state govt in Indias has done till date...After coming out, he decided to go to people's court and until the people elect him as the CM once again, he won't continue as the CM..."
