Delhi CM Announcement Live Updates: After a long hiatus, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which stormed back to power in the national capital after 27 years, ended the suspense over Delhi’s new CM today as they elected Rekha Gupta as the CM. This comes more than 10 days after the saffron party registered a thumping win in the Delhi Assembly polls, ending the 10-year rule of the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
The announcement of the new Delhi CM is likely to come after the Legislative Party meeting today. Following the declaration of the new CM, the swearing-in ceremony will take place on February 20 at Ramlila Maidan. While the speculation continues, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva has confirmed that the final decision on the chief ministerial post will be taken by the party’s central leadership.
Earlier, the saffron party had confirmed that the new CM will be from the 48 elected MLAs and not MPs. Another speculation is that the BJP is mulling a woman CM in the national capital. As the suspense over CM continues and the national capital awaits for BJP's decision, several names are doing the rounds for the top post.
Among the major names is BJP MLA Parvesh Verma, who turned out to be one of the giant slayers as he defeated AAP chief and former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal. Besides Verma, other key names in the list of probabbles are Ashish Sood, Vijender Gupta, Satish Upadhyay, Shikha Roy and Rekha Gupta.
