Atishi is a leader of the Aam Aadmi Party, and a member of the party’s Political Affairs Committee (PAC). She has been made in-charge of the East Delhi Lok Sabha constituency unit, where her role is to prepare the party organisation in the run up to the 2019 Lok Sabha election. Until April 2018, she served as Education Minister Manish Sisodia’s Advisor. She played a pivotal role in revamping the state of education in government run schools in the national capital.
Atishi has tirelessly worked towards the welfare of the society with special attention to the education system. Her passion for mass politics and expertise in policy makes for a potent combination and a breath of fresh air in Indian politics.
Controversy : Atishi, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate from East Delhi, broke down at a press conference today as her party accused her BJP rival Gautam Gambhir of circulating a derogatory, scurrilous pamphlet on her ahead of voting in Delhi on Sunday for the national election. "Never imagined Gautam Gambhir to stoop so low," tweeted AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, as the hashtag #IStandWithAtishi trended on Twitter.
