Since the fierce victory in the Delhi assembly elections, there was speculation about all the names from the BJP regarding the next Chief Minister. Meanwhile, a big claim has been made by sources that the BJP has agreed in the name of Pravesh Verma. Sources claimed to be finalized on Monday (February 10, 2025).

The party president JP Nadda met Union Home Minister Amit Shah on 9 February amidst the exercise of the new Chief Minister’s selection with victory in the Delhi Assembly elections. Senior leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had discussed at the BJP headquarters on 8 February about the next CM of Delhi.

The BJP has gained an impressive edge between every region and most communities in the elections, so it has a detailed list of possible candidates for the post of Chief Minister. The party’s options are often seen as a big political message in choosing their Chief Ministers in various states, so political observers believe that Delhi will be no exception.

Experienced leaders of organization like Pravesh Verma, the leader of the Jat community, who defeated Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal and experienced leaders of organization like Satish Upadhyay, Vijendra Gupta, Ashish Sood and Pawan Sharma are being discussed, but the history of BJP has been to carry forward the relatively less popular leaders.

A BJP leader said that the top leadership of the party can also consider any MLA, Sikh or woman with the background of Purvanchal on the basis of political equations. He said that in 2023, in view of the previous experience including Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan and last year, there is very little scope for speculation on such cases. BJP chose Mohan Yadav in Madhya Pradesh, Bhajan Lal Sharma in Rajasthan and Mohan Charan Majhi in Odisha, which surprised most political analysts.

The BJP leader said, “You never know … National leadership can bring a completely new face, which is suitable for this post and is able to discharge duties as the Chief Minister of Delhi amidst the huge expectations of the people.” BJP’s Delhi unit president Virendra Sachdeva said that the decision on the Chief Minister will take the central leadership of the party. He said that all the newly elected MLAs are capable of discharging the responsibilities assigned to him.

Delhi CM news: Ever since the BJP’s victory in the Delhi Assembly elections, there is a period of speculation about being made the next Chief Minister. The central leadership of BJP is continuously churning on names for the post of Chief Minister. It is expected that the BJP can take a shocking decision as usual in Delhi as usual. At the same time, discussions of making women MLAs CM are common in Delhi.

The BJP and its leaders, who have occupied power at the Center for the third consecutive time since winning the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, have broken many electoral and political myths so far. However, it is clear from the results of the Delhi assembly elections that the political history of the state has once again repeated itself. The ruling party has once again faced defeat as soon as the woman CM in Delhi.

The party has suffered defeat during the command of the post of Chief Minister in the hands of a woman MLA in Delhi’s power. This myth has been repeating the cases of BJP’s departed leader Sushma Swaraj to AAP MLA Atishi. Even Sheila Dixit, who was CM of Delhi three times, could not break this myth.

Sushma Swaraj, Sheela Dixit and Atishi even myth shocked

Three Chief Ministers were in the BJP government, which came to power in Delhi in 1993. Among them, CM Madan Lal Khurana was first, after that Sahib Singh Verma’s reins were handed over the reins of the state. Before the election, BJP veteran Sushma Swaraj was made CM in Delhi. In 1998, the BJP was out of power in the election fought under the leadership of Sushma Swaraj.

Similarly, even after Congress leader Sheila Dixit was the Chief Minister for three consecutive times, history repeated itself. Despite being in power in Delhi for 15 years, the myth of being a woman CM in 2013 did not spare Sheila Dixit. Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party dropped Sheila Dixit out of power.

In the Delhi Assembly Elections 2025, this myth also repeated itself. Arvind Kejriwal, who held the Delhi CM’s chair in 2013, made AAP MLA Atishi the Chief Minister in 2025. However, Kejriwal continued to present himself as the next Chief Minister in the election rallies, despite this, the myth of being a woman CM dropped the Aam Aadmi Party out of power.

UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also broke a big myth

In Uttar Pradesh politics, there was a big political myth about Noida included in the NCR region. Due to political superstition, no Chief Minister of UP used to come to Noida for nearly three decades. However, in 2017, Yogi Adityanath, who became the CM of UP, broke this myth. In 2017, he broke this myth by attending an event in Noida with PM Narendra Modi. Since then, CM Yogi has come to Noida more than a dozen times.

Will BJP play the bet of women CM?

Four women MLAs of BJP Rekha Gupta, Shikha Rai, Poonam Sharma and Neelam Pahalwan have won in the Delhi Assembly. The names of these four women MLAs are being speculated for the next CM of Delhi. However, whether this big myth related to the name of the woman Chief Minister will break the BJP or not, only the time to come will tell. However, Pravesh Verma, who became a giant killer after defeating Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal, is being claimed to be at the forefront of this race. Apart from this, many other names are included in the discussion.
