Delhi Elections - There is talk of Nupur Sharma contesting the Delhi elections, will BJP give her a ticket?
Delhi Elections: There was no discussion on the name of former party spokesperson Nupur Sharma in the recent meeting of BJP's Central Election Committee. There was a possibility of Nupur Sharma contesting from Babarpur assembly seat in East Delhi, but nothing was decided about her name in the meeting. According to sources, the candidates for about 10 to 11 assembly seats are yet to be discussed in the meeting, including Babarpur seat.Gopal Rai of Aam Aadmi Party is the current MLA from Babarpur seat. There were speculations that BJP could make Nupur Sharma a candidate from this seat and she would contest against Gopal Rai. However, no formal decision was taken on this in the meeting. Now it will be interesting to see whether Nupur Sharma's name is included in the list of upcoming candidates of BJP or not.Expulsion from the party due to controversial statement Nupur Sharma has been away from active politics for the last three years. She was expelled from the party after making controversial remarks on Prophet Mohammad and his wife. After this statement, many Muslim countries reacted sharply and there was a lot of controversy in India as well.In this case, BJP had shown the way out of the party not only to Nupur Sharma but also to the then media in-charge of the party, Naveen Kumar Jindal. At that time, BJP had made it clear that the party respects all religions and no person can be allowed to hurt religious sentiments.Will Nupur Sharma's suspension period end? Nupur Sharma was suspended from the party for six years. However, now three years have passed and there is a discussion in the inner circles of the party whether she can be considered to be brought back to the party before time.The discussion of Nupur Sharma's name for the Delhi Assembly elections has created a stir in the political corridors. However, it is not yet clear whether BJP will give her a ticket after ending her suspension period.Waiting for BJP's second list Out of the total 70 seats of Delhi Assembly, BJP has so far announced its candidates on 29 seats. According to sources, BJP's second list can be released today. This list will include the names of candidates for more than two dozen seats.Throughout the day on Friday, senior party leaders deliberated on the remaining 41 seats. First, in the core group meeting, every seat was discussed in detail, and then in the evening, a meeting of the Central Election Committee was held. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also attended this meeting for about two hours.This election is very important for the BJP, because the party is trying to weaken the hold of the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi. It remains to be seen which faces the BJP gives a chance to in the coming days and whether Nupur Sharma makes a comeback to politics or not.
