The suspense over Delhi’s next Chief Minister is set to end today as the BJP prepares to announce its chosen leader, marking the party’s first CM in Delhi in nearly three decades. Following a landslide victory in the 2024 Delhi Assembly elections, where the BJP won 48 out of 70 seats, the party is now focused on forming the new government. The selection process will begin at noon with the BJP’s Parliamentary Board meeting to appoint observers for the MLA meeting scheduled for 6:15 PM. During this meeting, the elected MLAs will select their leader, who will take the oath of office in a grand ceremony on February 15 at 11 AM at Ramlila Maidan.
The swearing-in event is expected to be a high-profile gathering, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, and other top leaders in attendance. Special arrangements have been made for the ceremony, including three separate stages: one for the PM, Home Minister, LG, and the new Chief Minister, another for religious leaders, and a third for MPs and MLAs. The oath-taking itself is scheduled for 12:05 PM, and the event will conclude by 12:34 PM.
Among the key contenders for the Chief Minister post, Parvesh Verma is seen as a frontrunner, having defeated former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the New Delhi constituency. Other strong names in contention include BJP Delhi unit president Virendra Sachdeva, first-time MP Bansuri Swaraj, who is the daughter of the late Sushma Swaraj, and Satish Upadhyay, a prominent Brahmin face in the party. There is also speculation that the BJP may appoint a woman as Chief Minister, with four newly elected female MLAs—Neelam Pahalwan, Rekha Gupta, Poonam Sharma, and Shikha Roy—being considered as potential candidates. Additionally, caste equations could play a crucial role in the selection process, as seen in previous BJP-led state governments. Four of the newly elected BJP MLAs belong to the Scheduled Caste community, adding another factor to the party’s decision-making process.
The BJP’s return to power in Delhi is a significant shift in the city’s political landscape, breaking the dominance of the Aam Aadmi Party, which won 67 seats in 2015 and 62 in 2020 but dropped to just 22 this time. AAP’s decline was largely attributed to governance issues and corruption allegations against Arvind Kejriwal, particularly regarding the liquor excise policy and the ‘Sheeshmahal’ controversy. The Congress, which once held power in Delhi for 15 years, suffered another setback, failing to make an impact in the elections.
With the final decision on the Chief Minister expected later today, all eyes are on the BJP as it prepares for its historic return to governance in the national capital. The new Chief Minister will take charge immediately after the swearing-in ceremony, ushering in a new political era for Delhi.
