Delhi CM race:
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has secured power in Delhi after three decades, marking a significant political shift. The urban voters favored the BJP’s leadership, leading to widespread celebrations. Now, the key question is: who will Prime Minister Narendra Modi choose as the next Chief Minister of Delhi?
Modi treated the Delhi elections as a high-stakes battle, strategizing meticulously to secure victory. Leaders like Chandrababu Naidu were brought in to campaign for the party, particularly in constituencies with a Telugu voter base. Naidu supported Sanjay Goyal in the Shahdara constituency, where he won against AAP’s Jitender Singh Shunty.
With BJP’s victory confirmed, speculation over the CM’s post has intensified. Among the potential candidates, Parvesh Sahib Singh stands out. He contested from New Delhi against AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal and secured a win with a margin of 4,000 votes. His political lineage strengthens his position—he is the son of former Delhi Chief Minister Sahib Singh Verma.
At 46 years old, Parvesh has a strong educational background, holding a degree from Kirori Mal College and an MBA from the Fore School of Management. His Jat community background is another factor working in his favor, as it played a crucial role in BJP’s electoral success. Many believe that his selection as CM could further consolidate BJP’s support among Jat voters.
As anticipation builds, Prime Minister Modi is set to address party members this evening. An official announcement regarding the Chief Minister’s selection is expected soon. Whether Parvesh Sahib Singh secures the position or another leader is chosen, the decision will significantly impact Delhi’s political landscape.
