The swearing-in ceremony was attended by senior AAP leaders, including Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia. Several opposition leaders also congratulated the newly appointed ministers on their appointments.
In conclusion, the swearing-in of Atishi, Saurabh Bharadwaj, and other AAP MLAs as ministers in the Delhi cabinet signals the government’s commitment to improving public education, transport, and tourism in the city. The AAP government has a track record of implementing progressive policies and delivering on its promises, and the new cabinet is expected to continue the same.
