New Delhi: The BJP has been flooded with speculations about the Chief Minister soon after the stunning Delhi Assembly poll results. According to the sources, on Monday (February 10, 2025) claimed that the party has reached a consensus on Parvesh Verma as the new Chief Minister.
In the tussle to elect a new CM, BJP Prez JP Nadda met Union Home Min Amit Shah on February 9. On February 8, PM Modi and senior leaders at BJP headquarters weighed the next Delhi CM.
After leading the BJP to stunning victories in so many regions and communities in the elections, he said, the party has a wide range of possible Chief Ministers to choose from. Political watchers feel that Delhi CM, like in other states, will be having a wider political message.
Names like Parvesh Verma, who had defeated AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, experienced organizational leaders Satish Upadhyay, Vijender Gupta, Ashish Sood, and Pawan Sharma are being discussed as well. But the BJP has experience in pushing lesser-known faces into spotlight.
According to a BJP leader, the top leadership of the party may also look for prospective candidates in Purvanchal grounds, as well as Sikhs or women , depending upon the political equations. Reminded of surprise winners in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Odisha, the leader said, “You can never tell…the national leadership could present to them an entirely fresh face who is fit for the job and possess the characteristics to play the role of CM in Delhi under the backdrop of high public expectations.
Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva said the decision on Chief Minister will be decided by the central leadership. He added that all the recently elected lawmakers can further exercise the duties given to them.
