As the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) gears up to reclaim power in Delhi, speculation is growing about who will be the party's next Chief Ministerial candidate. The early trends suggest that the BJP is set to win the Delhi Assembly elections, crossing the majority mark. Despite this, the party has yet to reveal its chief ministerial nominee.
Several prominent names have surfaced as potential candidates for the top post. Parvesh Verma, who is contesting against AAP's Arvind Kejriwal in the New Delhi constituency, is a strong contender. His victory could cement his position as a frontrunner. Another key figure is Vijender Gupta, a senior BJP leader and former Delhi BJP chief, who has won the Rohini seat in both 2015 and 2020.
Other names in the mix include Ramesh Bidhuri, Kailash Gahlot, and Kapil Mishra, all leading in their respective constituencies. The final decision on the Chief Ministerial candidate will rest with the party's central leadership.
As the BJP prepares to form the government, all eyes are on the party leadership to announce Delhi's next Chief Minister. Virendra Sachdeva, the Delhi unit chief, has expressed confidence in BJP's performance and emphasized that the central leadership will make the final decision.
