The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has unveiled its first list of 29 candidates for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, scheduled for February 2025. The list includes several prominent leaders, with Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma set to take on AAP leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal from the New Delhi constituency. Additionally, Ramesh Bidhuri has been fielded from Kalkaji, where he will go head-to-head with AAP’s Atishi, the incumbent Delhi CM. This announcement has set the stage for high-stakes battles in key constituencies across the capital.

The BJP’s lineup also features senior party leaders such as Vijender Gupta from Rohini, Ashish Sood from Janakpuri, and Kailash Gahlot from Bijwasan. The party has emphasized its commitment to reclaiming power in Delhi, leveraging both experienced and emerging leaders. The BJP aims to challenge the AAP’s decade-long governance, focusing on issues like education, healthcare, and infrastructure development. While the BJP has not released its full manifesto, insiders suggest the party plans to highlight its achievements in national governance to sway voters.

The announcement comes amidst a politically charged atmosphere, with Congress also fielding strong candidates, including Alka Lamba, who will contest against Atishi in Kalkaji. As election fever grips the capital, parties are leaving no stone unturned to connect with voters through rallies, door-to-door campaigns, and social media outreach. With less than two months to go, the Delhi Assembly elections promise to be a fierce contest, shaping the political landscape of the national capital for years to come.
