In her first press conference after becoming Delhi's chief minister, Atishi declared revised minimum wages for unskilled, semi-skilled, and skilled workers, stating they were the highest in the country. She also accused the BJP of being "anti-poor" and hindering the implementation of minimum wages in other states. The new rates, applicable from 1 October, were achieved through the Kejriwal government's efforts despite opposition from the BJP, according to Atishi.
Aam Aadmi Party's senior leader Atishi has been chosen as the successor of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Born into a Punjabi Rajput family, Atishi's rise to power within AAP has been monumental. From her involvement in policy formulation to winning her first seat in the 2020 Delhi Legislative Assembly election, she has proven to be a key figure in the party. With her new role as the Chief Minister of Delhi, Atishi is set to take on even greater responsibilities within the party.
