Atishi Marlena Singh, who is only 43 years old, is about to become the third woman to be mayor of Delhi. Atishi and West Bengal’s Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee are likely to play a big part in the INDIA coalition, just like leaders like Sushma Swaraj from the BJP and Sheila Dikshit from the Congress have done in the past. People are interested in her past and why Arvind Kejriwal chose her to be Chief Minister now that she has become a major political figure.
In April 2022, things got worse in Jahangirpuri, Delhi, which led to fights between two groups and the destruction of buildings. A lot of people were upset about these demolitions, especially after the court stopped them. During this troubled time, three well-known Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders said that the unrest was caused by the Rohingya and Bangladeshi groups, which was similar to what the BJP said. Atishi was one of the most important people at the press meeting where these accusations were made.
Atishi quickly made a name for herself in politics. Marxism had an effect on her from a young age. She went to Delhi University for her undergraduate studies and Oxford for her doctoral studies. Her participation in social service projects has been very important. In 2010, she helped build the AAP by taking part in the anti-corruption drive with party leaders.
She has had a big effect on education; she was very important in making government schools better and raising educational standards. When the AAP formed in 2012, she helped write the party’s platform for the 2013 assembly elections. Even though there wasn’t a clear winner in the polls, the AAP and Congress made a short-term government that didn’t last long. In the 2015 elections, however, the AAP won an amazing 67 of the 70 seats. After that, Atishi worked as an education advisor for Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia. Even though she lost to Gautam Gambhir of the BJP in East Delhi in the 2019 general election, she came back to win a place in the Delhi Assembly.
