Swati Maliwal, a Member of Parliament, wrote a letter to Arvind Kejriwal, who is the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). In her letter, she asked him to choose a Dalit MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly) as the Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly. Swati reminded Kejriwal that three years ago, he promised to make a Dalit Deputy Chief Minister in Punjab, but he hasn’t done it yet. She believes that choosing a Dalit MLA for this important role would honor the respected leader Babasaheb Ambedkar.
Swati thinks this decision is important and goes beyond politics; it shows commitment to the party’s values. Recently, AAP lost the elections in Delhi, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won. BJP will form a government in Delhi for the first time in 27 years, winning 48 out of 70 seats. Many AAP leaders, including Kejriwal, lost in their constituencies, and AAP could only secure 22 seats.
The BJP is set to have a meeting to choose their new leader, and the new Chief Minister will be sworn in at Ramlila Maidan. This venue can hold about 30,000 people and is currently being prepared for the ceremony, which will have many important guests, including Prime Minister Modi.
