The question was asked while she was on a visit to meet the families of the victims of building collapse at Karol Bagh.
On Tuesday, AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal resigned as the chief minister of Delhi hours after proposing Atishi’s name as his successor.
Kejriwal had submitted his resignation to LG Saxena yesterday.
With Kejriwal stepping down from the post of the chief minister, the AAP has staked claim to form government under Atishi’s leadership.
