New Delhi: With the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) crossing the majority mark in early trends of the 2025 Delhi Assembly election, the race for the chief minister’s post has heated up. After the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) suffered a massive setback, prominent BJP leaders and a surprise entrant are being considered as potential CM candidates. The party’s choice will shape the future of governance in the national capital, making the decision of utmost importance.
Top Contenders for the Chief Minister’s Post
1. Parvesh Verma
Parvesh Verma, a two-time MP from West Delhi and son of former Delhi Chief Minister Sahib Singh Verma, is a strong contender for the CM post. Known for his aggressive stance against the AAP and deep influence in Delhi’s political scene, Verma has good support from rural and outer Delhi voters. If the BJP wants to carry forward the legacy of the Verma family, he could be the top choice.
2. Manoj Tiwari
Former Delhi BJP president and well-known Purvanchal leader Manoj Tiwari has a strong hold among the migrant voters of Delhi. His immense popularity and his experience as a three-time MP from North East Delhi have made him a serious contender. If the BJP wants to consolidate its support among Purvanchal voters, Tiwari could be their choice.
3. Ramesh Bidhuri
Ramesh Bidhuri, the former MP from South Delhi, has strong grassroots connections and is known for his vocal support of BJP policies. His influence in South Delhi and his aggressive political style make him a potential CM candidate if the BJP chooses a leader with strong nationalist and Hindutva appeal.
4. Ramvir Singh Bidhuri
Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, Member of Parliament from the South Delhi Lok Sabha Constituency, who served as the Leader of Opposition in the outgoing Delhi Assembly till 2024, has been one of the most experienced BJP leaders in Delhi politics. His legislative experience as well as his deep understanding of the city’s governance challenges makes him a strong contender for the CM post.
5. Vijender Gupta
Leader of the opposition in the Delhi assembly and senior BJP leader Vijender Gupta has played an important role in preparing BJP’s strategy against AAP. If the party chooses an experienced administrator with a balanced approach, Gupta can be given preference.
6. Kailash Gahlot (Former AAP Leader)
Former Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gehlot resigned from the AAP, citing unfulfilled promises and recent controversies, and the very next day he joined the BJP and is now contesting from the Bijwasan seat. His joining the BJP has fuelled speculations of his possible promotion to the post of Chief Minister. Given his experience in governance and his understanding of the administrative functioning of Delhi, Gehlot could emerge as a surprise choice for the BJP leadership.
7. A Surprise Pick?
The BJP is known for its unpredictable decisions, so the possibility of a surprise chief ministerial candidate cannot be ruled out. In the past, the party has often chosen leaders who were not in the limelight but proved to be strong administrators. An unknown person may emerge from within the party, possibly a senior BJP leader or a first-time MLA who has the strong backing of the party’s central leadership.
Who Will Lead Delhi?
With the BJP gaining a lead in early trends, all eyes are on the announcement of the chief ministerial candidate by the party high command. This decision will be crucial in determining the governance model for Delhi in the years to come. With experienced leaders and surprising contenders, Delhi could see a new political direction under the leadership of its next chief minister.
