Atishi becomes the first woman to hold the post in the Delhi assembly.

The first session of the Delhi Assembly will begin on February 24. In the three-day session, the ruling BJP government has said that pending CAG reports against the performance of the previous AAP government will be tabled in the House.

Earlier this month, the BJP regained power in the national capital winning 48 out of 70 assembly seats, while AAP captured 22 seats and the Congress failed to win any.

AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal and several top leaders of the party, including Manish Sisodia, also lost the elections.
