New Delhi: BJP leaders on Saturday extended their best wishes to Atishi as he took oath as Delhi chief minister, but said people would gain nothing from the change of face and have no expectations from the AAP government.
Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said in a statement: "She has not been successful as a minister and the people of Delhi have no expectations of governance from her."

In her first remarks after taking oath on Saturday, Chief Minister Atishi slammed the BJP for hatching a "conspiracy" against her predecessor Arvind Kejriwal and urged people of the capital to ensure that the AAP supremo returns to office after the Assembly elections. early next year.
BJP MP Manoj Tiwari congratulated Atishi on becoming chief minister and said he hoped she would focus on the city's "dilapidated" civic infrastructure instead of indulging in a "blame game" like her predecessor Arvind. Kejriwal.
In a letter to the new prime minister, Tiwari demanded that his government repair the roads and return the money paid by people for their "high" electricity bills.
