In a significant political development, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced the appointment of Rekha Gupta, the Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Shalimar Bagh, as the new Chief Minister of Delhi. Parvesh Verma, the BJP leader from West Delhi, is set to be appointed as the Deputy Chief Minister. The much-anticipated oath-taking ceremony will take place on February 20, 2025, marking a historic moment for the party in Delhi’s political landscape.
The BJP’s victory in the recent Delhi Assembly elections has been nothing short of impressive. The party emerged victorious by securing 48 out of the total 70 seats, securing a majority in the Delhi Legislative Assembly. This marks a significant milestone for the BJP, as it forms the government in Delhi for the first time in 27 years. The party had previously been out of power in the capital since 1998.
Rekha Gupta’s appointment as Chief Minister is seen as a bold step by the BJP to strengthen its position in Delhi, where the party has traditionally struggled to make a significant impact. Gupta’s leadership and political experience, along with her grassroots connections in Shalimar Bagh, have made her a suitable choice for the role.
Parvesh Verma’s elevation to the position of Deputy CM is also a notable move by the BJP, as he has been a key player in the party’s success in Delhi and is expected to bring his political acumen to the government. Verma has previously served as an MP from West Delhi and has been an influential voice within the party.
This victory represents a major shift in Delhi’s political dynamics, with the BJP aiming to reshape the future of the city under its leadership. The party’s return to power in Delhi after nearly three decades is seen as a victory for the party’s policies and leadership in the national capital.
