Delhi New CM: Will Delhi get a woman CM again? Know who are the possible candidates of BJP

Delhi New CM: The announcement of the new Chief Minister of Delhi can be made today or tomorrow. After a huge victory in the Delhi Assembly elections, there is a lot of discussion in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) about who will be the next Chief Minister. This time, the party can make a female candidate from among its newly elected MLAs as CM. Reports are claiming that a Deputy Chief Minister is also likely to be appointed. In such a situation, if a woman becomes the Chief Minister of Delhi, then after Atishi, Delhi will again get a woman CM. According to sources, women and Dalit leaders are expected to participate in the new cabinet.

BJP's brainstorming continues, who will be the CM?

A senior BJP leader indicated that the party is carefully considering all its options. Based on the best decision politically, a candidate with Purvanchal background, a Sikh leader or a female candidate is being considered. Previous elections in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Odisha show that the party leadership wants to keep its decision secret before making any big announcement. In such a situation, there is curiosity among the public as to who will be the CM.

Possible women faces of BJP

Rekha Gupta - Elected MLA from Shalimar Bagh, National Vice President of BJP Women's Wing.

Shikha Roy - Won Greater Kailash seat, defeated AAP's Saurabh Bharadwaj.

Poonam Sharma - Became MLA from Wazirpur seat.

Neelam Pehelwan - Won by a huge margin from Najafgarh.

Smriti Irani - Former Union Minister, lost Amethi to Congress' Kishori Lal, but a strong contender for the CM post.

Bansuri Swaraj - Late Sushma Swaraj's daughter, won from New Delhi Lok Sabha seat.

If BJP makes a woman Chief Minister in Delhi, it will be the fourth woman CM of Delhi. Earlier, Sushma Swaraj (BJP), Sheila Dixit (Congress), and Atishi (AAP) have been women Chief Ministers of Delhi.

Other possible Chief Ministers

Along with these women candidates, other names are also being considered. Some party insiders believe that:

Vijendra Gupta (Rohini MLA)

Ajay Mahawar (Ghonda MLA)

Abhay Verma (Laxmi Nagar MLA)

Kapil Mishra (former AAP minister, now BJP leader)

Pravesh Verma (defeated Arvind Kejriwal in New Delhi)

Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva has said that the final decision on who will be the CM will be taken by the party's top leadership.

Swearing-in ceremony

According to reports, the swearing-in ceremony of the CM in Delhi will be held after Prime Minister Narendra Modi returns from his US visit. The BJP is planning a grand event to mark its return to Delhi, which is likely to be attended by chief ministers of all NDA-ruled states.
