PTC News Desk: Delhi Chief Minister Atishi Marlena Singh on Sunday tendered her resignation to Lt. Governor VK Saxena after Aam Aadmi Party's electoral defeat against BJP on Saturday.
Further Delhi LG has directed to dissolve the seventh assembly.
AAP witnessed a massive jolt in 2025 assembly elections after achieving sweeping victory in the 70-member Delhi assembly in both 2015 and 2020 election.
