Arvind Kejriwal, previously the chief minister of Delhi, now occupies seat number 41 in the assembly.

Arvind Kejriwal, the former chief minister of Delhi, now finds himself in seat number 41 in the Delhi assembly, distinctly distanced from the coveted chief minister's chair.

His successor, Atishi, has claimed the 'number one' chair, while Manish Sisodia, a trusted aide, sits next to Kejriwal at seat 40. This reshuffling comes after Kejriwal's resignation following his release on bail in the excise policy case.

In a symbolic act, Atishi has left Kejriwal's former chair empty in the chief minister's office, a gesture criticized by both the BJP and Congress as an insult to the office. Kejriwal has pledged to return to his former position after securing a 'certificate of honesty' from the electorate in the upcoming assembly polls.
