CM Atishi retains Gopal Rai, Saurabh Bharadwaj, Kailash Gahlot in Delhi Cabinet

With her taking oath as Delhi’s Chief Minister, Atishi on Saturday became only the third woman to hold the position in the capital after Sushma Swaraj and Sheila Dikshit.

Atishi, who will follow the two-time CM Arvind Kejriwal, has been given the responsibility after the latter came out of the Tihar jail on bail in an ongoing case.

In her new cabinet, Atishi has retained veteran Aam Aadmi Party leaders Gopal Rai, Saurabh Bhardwaj, Imran Hussain and Kailash Gehlot.

Mukesh Ahlawat, a first-time MLA from the Sultanpur Majra constituency, is also making his debut in the Atishi-led Delhi cabinet. 

Notably, unlike AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal, Atishi is likely to hold major portfolios in the Delhi government. 

“The top leadership has made it clear that Atishi has to focus on governance. She is expected to retain key portfolios such as finance, education, PWD, and power,” a party leader was quoted as saying.

Here’s a full list of AAP leader who will be a part of Atishi’s cabinet:
