Who will become the CM of Delhi after Arvind Kejriwal?
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced his resignation and has heated up the politics of Delhi. Along with this, people in political circles have started speculations about who will be Kejriwal’s successor. Till now former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia was considered as number two, but Kejriwal himself has made it clear that Sisodia will not get the CM’s chair now. In such a situation, according to seniority order, Gopal Rai’s number automatically comes on top, but according to portfolio, Atishi remains at number one.
At the same time, the name of Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh is also being discussed a lot. However, the final decision in this regard can now be taken only in the meeting of the Legislative Assembly. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was out on bail after his arrest in the alleged Delhi Excise scam, was seen in full bloom on Sunday. Addressing the workers at the party office, he said that he is going to the people’s court with Manish Sisodia and now the public will decide how honest and how dishonest Kejriwal and Sisodia are.
Assembly will not be breached
Announcing his resignation from the post of Chief Minister two days later, he said that he will sit on this chair again only when the public gives him a clean chit in his court. When CM Kejriwal was announcing his resignation, it seemed that he was taking a decision to dissolve the assembly, but he immediately clarified that the decision was not to dissolve the assembly, but to save his image in Delhi.

Atishi’s name at the top
After his announcement, another wave of speculation started. In fact, CM Kejriwal did not reveal the name of the next CM in his speech. He said that a decision will be taken in the meeting of the MLA. Because of this, the discussions of various party leaders becoming CM have gained momentum. Atishi’s name is foremost in this discussion. After the imprisonment of Manish Sisodia, who was once the number two in the Delhi government, the entire charge is currently with Atishi. Apart from having a strong portfolio, she is also trusted by CM Kejriwal.
The possibility of keeping Sanjay Singh out of the government
In such a situation, the possibility of him becoming the CM has become strong. Similarly, on the basis of seniority, Gopal Rai is also seen in the CM race. Although his health is not on his side, he emerges as a troublemaker from time to time in the party. He is also considered a confidant of CM Kejriwal. Similarly, the third name in the CM race is that of Sanjay Singh. The CM’s claim is strong, but after he comes to the government, there will be no one left to play openly in the party. In such a situation, the party is likely to keep him out of the government.
