A ‘giant killer’ has emerged in Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Delhi Assembly polls as Parvesh Sahib Singh knocks off Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal in the important New Delhi constituency. As Kejriwal has been a strong Delhi political power and has held the seat for three consecutive terms, this win represents a major political change.
Singh’s success readies him well for a more significant position inside the BJP, maybe even in the Delhi administration.
Rising Star of BJP in Delhi Politics
The win of Parvesh Sahib Singh is especially remarkable given that New Delhi used to be the bastion of former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and more recently Kejriwal. From the seat, both leaders had several terms, so the constituency was among the most well-known in Delhi. Singh’s capacity to win this distinguished seat against Arvind Kejriwal indicates his growing standing in the BJP; political experts think he may shortly become a major figure in the administration of Delhi.
Kejriwal, Sisodia, and Other AAP Leaders are Welcome to Reach Defeat
Part of a bigger trend in the Delhi election, several senior AAP members are losing as well. Although other well-known figures like Saurabh Bharadwaj and Somnath Bharti are behind in their particular seats, former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia acknowledged his loss on the Jangpura seat.
Future of Singh in the BJP and the Delhi Administration
Reports suggest that Parvesh Singh Sahib will meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah later in the day, therefore marking his rise inside the BJP after the triumph. Since the party had not first picked a chief ministerial candidate for Delhi, Singh’s victory in Delhi puts him as a top post possible candidate subject to approval from party leadership including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah.
Losing to AAP’s Atishi in Kalkaji, Ramesh Bidhuri, once thought to be one among the chief ministerial faces of the party, Singh’s route to the CM office seems clear. Should the BJP leadership support him, Singh might soon become a major figure in defining the future of politics in Delhi.
