Breaking News: Delhi CM Race Intensifies as BJP Preps for Oath-Taking with Tight Security | ABP NEWS

As Delhi prepares for a grand oath-taking ceremony, security arrangements at the Ram Leela Maidan have been tightened with over 5,000 personnel deployed, alongside 10 companies of armed forces. The venue, which has witnessed historical events, is now set to host a major political celebration as BJP secures a monumental victory after more than two decades. With this, the focus shifts to the suspense around Delhi's Chief Ministerial candidate, with several names circulating in the race. Key contenders include Rekha Gupta, who has gained traction due to her connection with the Bania community, aligning with BJP's efforts to re-establish ties with the community after a break caused by the rise of Arvind Kejriwal. Additionally, Jitendra Mahajan, a candidate from Rohtas Nagar, stands out due to his organizational contributions. The list also includes Ashish Sood, Shikha Rai, and Ajay Mahawar, all prominent faces within the BJP. A surprise candidate, however, is also likely, as BJP has historically unveiled unexpected names to capture the public’s attention. The final decision will consider factors like caste dynamics, regional balance, and alignment with the development agenda. The BJP leadership is keen on presenting a candidate who can meet the expectations set by Prime Minister Modi for Delhi's future development.
