Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi, who is set to be the youngest Chief Minister of Delhi will have two challenges in front of her after assuming the office, said party leader Gopal Rai. 

In an interviw with ABP News, Rai — who will have a seat in the Atishi cabinet — said that the first challenge that she will face is to complete the work of the Delhi government in the remaining last three months of the term.

The second challenge that Rai listed is to keep the welfare policies of the Aam Aadmi Party government "safe" from the Bharatiya Janata Party. "The challenge is to protect those free policies," he said. 

The AAP leader said that party supremo Arvind Kejriwal will begin 'Janata ki Adalat' at Jantar Mantar on Sunday and will ask the people from different constituencies if they consider him honest or dishonest. 

He also said they hope that the assembly polls in Delhi will be conducted soon. Last week, as Kejriwal announced to step down from the CM post he called for early polls in the national capital. 

Ahead of the swearing-in ceremony, Rai said that the entire cabinet is ready to work. "Arvind Kejriwal has taught that we are not for power but for the people," he said. 

Atishi will take oath as the Chief Minister of Delhi at 4:30 pm on Saturday at the Raj Niwas. Alongside Atishi, Gopal Rai, Kailash Gahlot, Saurabh Bharadwaj, and Imran Hussain will be sworn in as cabinet ministers  Mukesh Ahlawat, the AAP MLA from Sultanpur Majra is a new addition to the cabinet who will also be inducted on Saturday. 

The portfolios allotted to different ministers are expected to be known shortly after the oath-taking ceremony.
