In her first press conference after taking charge as the Delhi CM, Atishi said that under the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal, the AAP government implemented minimum wages for city labourers which were “highest” in the country.

She accused the BJP of being “anti-poor” and claimed that the minimum wages in states ruled by the saffron party were “perhaps half of what was being paid in Delhi.”
