Atishi is Delhi’s third woman chief minister after Congress’ Sheila Dikshit and BJP’s Sushma Swaraj. She also becomes the 17th woman to hold the post of chief minister in independent India. Atishi, however, will have a brief tenure in office as assembly elections in the national capital are due in February.
