BJP leader Rekha Gupta is set to be sworn in as the new Chief Minister of Delhi at a grand ceremony in Ramlila Maidan. Alongside her, six cabinet ministers will take their oaths, marking a new political chapter in the capital. The event will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other top dignitaries.
Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma: A Strong Jat Leader
Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma, a well-known Jat face in Delhi’s political landscape, is among the ministers taking the oath. The son of former Delhi CM Sahib Singh Verma, he has been an influential leader in the BJP, particularly in West Delhi. His inclusion in the cabinet signals the party’s focus on consolidating Jat votes.
Manjinder Singh Sirsa: The Sikh Representative
Manjinder Singh Sirsa, a seasoned leader with strong ties to the Sikh community, is another key figure in the new cabinet. Having previously served in various capacities, his role is expected to strengthen the BJP’s outreach among Sikh voters in the national capital. His political experience and community influence make him a crucial part of the administration.
Kapil Mishra: A Controversial but Popular Leader
Kapil Mishra, known for his outspoken political stance, is also taking a ministerial position. A former AAP leader who later joined the BJP, Mishra has been a vocal critic of the opposition. His appointment is likely to energize the party’s base while adding a combative edge to the new government’s approach.
Ashish Sood: Organizational Strength
Ashish Sood, another BJP stalwart, has played a significant role in the party’s organizational structure in Delhi. His experience in party affairs and grassroots connections are expected to aid governance. His portfolio is yet to be announced, but he is likely to handle crucial city-related issues.
Pankaj Kumar Singh: The Emerging Face
Pankaj Kumar Singh is a relatively new but rising leader in Delhi politics. His appointment is viewed as a strategic move by the BJP to bring fresh energy into governance while balancing various political equations within the capital. His political journey and future responsibilities will be closely watched.
Ravinder Indraj Singh: Strengthening the BJP’s Base
Ravinder Indraj Singh’s induction into the cabinet further reflects BJP’s focus on diverse representation. With a strong connection to grassroots politics, his role in the government is expected to strengthen the party’s influence across different communities in Delhi.
A Political Shift in Delhi
The formation of this cabinet marks a significant change in Delhi’s political landscape. The BJP’s strategy appears to be focused on strengthening its base among various communities while ensuring experienced and influential leaders take charge. The swearing-in ceremony at Ramlila Maidan, with the presence of the Prime Minister, underscores the importance the central leadership is placing on Delhi’s governance.
All eyes will now be on the new team as they take on the challenges of governing the national capital and delivering on the promises made during the election campaign.
