In such a situation, when only a few months are left for the Delhi Assembly elections, Atishi’s path as CM is not going to be easy. Know in this report what will be the big challenges in front of her?
As soon as Arvind Kejriwal submitted his resignation to Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, Atishi staked claim to form the new government. Earlier, in the legislative party meeting, her name was approved as the new CM face. Atishi said that I will work as CM under the guidance of Arvind Kejriwal. I will work for the next few months with the sole goal of making Kejriwal sit on the CM post again. In such a situation, when only a few months are left for the elections, Atishi will face big challenges as CM.
The opposition’s attacks will have to be answered through work
At a time when the opposition is repeatedly accusing the Delhi government of mismanagement, it is constantly making sharp attacks. Atishi will have to work at the ground level to speed up the functioning of the government. She will have to ensure that major projects and schemes are back on track before the assembly elections in February as work has been badly affected due to Arvind Kejriwal being in jail for five months.
Kejriwal’s promises must be fulfilled
At a time when the Delhi government is facing challenges in solving issues related to basic services including roads, water supply, sewer, medicine. Not only this, when the alleged lack of funds has been cited. Atishi will face a big challenge to show the development work on the ground. During her short tenure as CM, Atishi will also have to implement Kejriwal’s promise of giving honorarium of Rs 1,000 to eligible women in Delhi under the ‘Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana’.
Cabinet formation, senior leaders will also have to be taken along
At the same time, officials said that the most important task before Atishi will be the formation of a new cabinet. In this, Atishi will have to give priority to those faces who can understand her and Arvind Kejriwal’s gestures and move the work forward quickly. Atishi will also have to win the trust of senior leaders within the party. This will make it easier to deal with the attacks of the opposition.
These plans must be implemented
Officials also said that Atishi’s responsibilities include holding a meeting of the National Capital Civil Services Authority (NCCSA) required for Group ‘A’ deployment, restarting the doorstep delivery of services scheme, implementing Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2.0 and approving the solar policy.
Roads, health, sewer and water supply will have to be improved
At such a time when winter is about to start, Atishi will also face the challenge of curbing the problem of pollution. Officials said that with only a few months left for the elections, Atishi will be busy speeding up welfare schemes related to roads, water supply, sewer, pollution, distribution of subsidies and salary revision of workers in the unorganized sector. She will also focus on completing pending works on infrastructure related projects.
