History

The ministry was formed after outgoing Chief Minister and leader of Aam Aadmi Party Arvind Kejriwal resigned on 17 September following his bail by the Supreme Court of India regarding 2022 Delhi liquor scam case, upon conditions of not entering the Delhi Secretariat and signing any file without Lieutenant Governor's consent.{{Cite web |date=2024-09-13 |title=Arvind Kejriwal bail conditions: Can't enter Chief Minister's office, sign files |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/supreme-court-arvind-kejriwal-bail-conditions-2599029-2024-09-13 |access-date=2024-09-21 |website=India Today |language=en}}

After getting bail, Kejriwal said he will resign from the office of Chief Minister of Delhi within two days. There were a lot of speculations among the media that senior cabinet member Atishi might be the next chief minister. However, she said in an interview that the party will decide about it.{{Cite news |date=2024-09-21 |title=Atishi sworn in as the new Delhi CM: A look at top five controversies the AAP leader was embroiled in |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/atishi-to-be-sworn-in-as-the-new-delhi-cm-a-look-at-top-five-controversies-the-aap-leader-was-embroiled-in/articleshow/113546890.cms |access-date=2024-09-21 |work=The Economic Times |issn=0013-0389}}
