The first session of the newly constituted Delhi Assembly commenced on Monday, with Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and her six cabinet ministers taking the oath as MLAs. The session began with the swearing-in ceremony, led by BJP MLA Arvinder Singh Lovely, who was appointed as the pro-tem Speaker. He was administered the oath by Lieutenant Governor (LG) Vinai Kumar Saxena at the Raj Niwas before the session started.

The Delhi High Court has issued a notice to Atishi, Chief Minister of Delhi, in response to an appeal filed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Praveen Shankar Kapoor. Kapoor is challenging a lower court’s decision that quashed summons against Atishi in a defamation case he filed in April 2024.

Just a day before the Delhi Assembly elections, a disobedience case has been filed against Atishi, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate from Kalkaji, with allegations surrounding her refusal to vacate a public space as per election guidelines.

In a major legal victory for Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, a Delhi court on Tuesday dismissed a defamation complaint filed by a BJP leader, providing significant relief ahead of next week's Delhi elections. The Rouse Avenue Court quashed the summons issued in connection with the defamation charges, ruling that Atishi's remarks were made against the BJP as a whole and not against any individual member.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi's health took a critical turn as she was admitted to Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP) Hospital's Intensive Care Unit (ICU) due to very low blood sugar levels during the early hours of Tuesday. The incident occurred on the fifth day of her indefinite hunger strike, which she initiated amidst the Delhi water crisis.

Delhi Water Minister Atishi commenced an indefinite hunger strike in Bhogal, south Delhi, today, urging the Haryana government to release more water to the national capital amidst an ongoing intense heatwave. She was joined by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's wife Sunita Kejriwal, AAP MP Sanjay Singh, and Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj as she began her protest.
