Atishi to be 3rd woman and youngest chief minister of Delhi
NEW DELHI: Delhi is set to get its third woman chief minister, after Congress’ Sheila Dikshit and BJP’s Sushma Swaraj, as AAP leader Atishi has been chosen to succeed Arvind Kejriwal.
Dikshit was Delhi’s longest-serving chief minister, who held the office for 15 years from 1998 to 2013, while Swaraj's tenure lasted 52 days in 1998.
Atishi (43) will be Delhi's youngest chief minister and is also set to become the second current woman chief minister in the country after West Bengal’s Mamata Banerjee.
