No women in Kejriwal's Cabinet

February 16, 2020 09:31

As Aam Aadmi Party supremo Arvind Kejriwal takes oath as the chief minister of Delhi for the third time, not a single woman MLA will swear in as the cabinet minister. On the eve of swearing-in ceremony, Delhi CM designate had hosted a dinner party for other cabinet members where women MLAs were conspicuously missing.

Atishi Marlena, the first time MLA who had also contested 2019 Lok Sabha elections from AAP ticket and lost to BJPs Gautam Gambhir, will also not be part of the cabinet ministers swearing in today.

Netizens took to Twitter to question the newly elected chief minister about his doublespeak on women safety and women empowerment.
