AAP's new strategy and role of opposition

After being elected Leader of Opposition, Atishi said that the people of Delhi have given the role of opposition to the Aam Aadmi Party and the party will fulfill it fully. Targeting the BJP government, he said that AAP will be fully committed to fulfilling the promises made during the elections. He specifically mentioned the assistance scheme of ₹ 2500, which was described as a guarantee of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Atishi said that the Aam Aadmi Party will struggle to implement this scheme.

On February 25, Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena will give his address in the House and after that it will be discussed.

Election of Deputy Speaker and other important decisions

The election of the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly will be held on February 27. BJP has nominated senior MLAs Vijender Gupta and Mohan Singh Bisht for the posts of Speaker and Deputy Speaker respectively. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta will propose the name of Vijender Gupta on February 24, which will be supported by Manjinder Singh Sirsa.

Formation of new government and political equations

On February 20, a new BJP government was formed in Delhi, in which Rekha Gupta was made the Chief Minister. She has become the ninth and fourth woman Chief Minister of Delhi. Since BJP has a majority of 48 MLAs in the Assembly, the party is considered certain to capture the post of Speaker and Deputy Speaker.

Impact on future politics

Aatishi becoming the leader of the opposition is expected to give a new energy to the Aam Aadmi Party. Given her leadership ability and grip on policies, it is believed that she will play the role of an effective opposition in the Assembly. The eyes of the people of Delhi and political analysts will now be on how Atishi and her party corner the Delhi government and how they influence the upcoming policies.
