Arvind Kejriwal, a prominent opposition figure in India, stepped down as the chief minister of New Delhi after being released on bail in a bribery case. His party, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), announced Atishi Marlena Singh as his successor, amid allegations of corruption related to liquor contracts.

Kejriwal, known for his anti-corruption stance, faced imprisonment over charges linked to Delhi’s liquor policy. Despite denying all accusations and labeling them as politically motivated, he relinquished power to seek validation from the people in a move to restore his tainted image.

With international attention drawn to his abrupt imprisonment and subsequent resignation, the political landscape in India has been tumultuous. His replacement, Atishi Marlena Singh, took office as the new chief minister as Kejriwal navigates through legal challenges.

As the Delhi elections approach, Kejriwal’s future remains uncertain, with the AAP pushing for early polls to gauge public support. The outcome will determine whether Kejriwal can reclaim his political career and resume his role as a key opposition voice in India’s political arena.
