BJP Delhi CM: It has been more than ten days since the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2025 Delhi Assembly elections. The name of the Chief Minister can be announced in the meeting of BJP Legislature Party, for this, we have made observers. On Thursday (February 20, 2025), will be sworn in and Delhi will get a new Chief Minister.
After more than two decades, the saffron party has returned to Delhi. The BJP first gained power in Delhi in the 1993 assembly elections. At that time, the party had won unilaterally in the wave of Ram temple movement and Madan Lal Khurana became the first Chief Minister of BJP in Delhi. However, during this time the party also faced challenges. The party had to change the Chief Minister thrice in a 5 -year tenure.
When and why the BJP has to change the Chief Minister?
In 1993, BJP appointed Madan Lal Khurana as the Chief Minister of Delhi, but his term remained shorter due to allegations of joining the hawala case. He had to resign in 1996 and after that Sahib Singh Verma became the new Chief Minister, but he too had to step down a few months before the 1998 elections due to the increase in onion prices. Then Sushma Swaraj took over as the third Chief Minister of BJP, but due to the poor performance of the party in the elections held after this, the Congress could not return and the Congress took power. The Congress not only took away power from BJP in 1998, but also ruled for 15 consecutive years.

So why BJP is delayed in choosing CM
In fact, in 1993, when the BJP formed the government in Delhi for the first time, at that time also won 49 of the 70 assembly seats and after being out of power for 27 years, the BJP has returned to 48 seats once again. Meanwhile, political pundits suggested the party to choose a candidate with a clean image, citing the challenges faced by the 90s. Political analysts believe that the way the BJP has to change the CM from 1993 to 1998, the party wants to avoid that situation. This is the reason why BJP is taking so much time to decide the name.
