The suspense on Delhi chief minister has been growing day after day as the Bharatiya Janata Party is yet to announce the name of the candidate who will be the CM of the national capital.
However, the final decision is still pending as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on his international trip. According to the leaders, once he is back in India, the final name will be announced and an oath ceremony will take place in his presence.
Prime Minister Modi will be visiting the US between Feb 12-13 at the invitation of US President Donald Trump. Also, Parliament’s Budget session will conclude on February 13.
Many names are doing the rounds on who could be the chief minister of Delhi. The party came up with a few potential names including Vijendra Sachdeva, Parvesh Verma, Senior leader Vijendra Gupta, and newly elected Mustafabad MLA Mohan Singh Bisht.
However, it is possible that the party could choose a new MLA for the role of CM.
Meanwhile, the outgoing CM Atishi has already submitted her resignation to the LG VK Saxena, paving the way for a new government.
On the other hand when this suspense is ongoing in the party, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) does not want to skip the opportunity to take a dig at the situation.
“These are direct signs of groupism in BJP. Factions are coming together in groups of 10 because they are unable to decide who will become the CM of Delhi. They are fighting among themselves, but why should the people of Delhi suffer in this fight?” AAP spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar said.
Usually, the party announces the name of the observers, who belong to the central team. They then meet the MLAs after which the name of the CM is announced.
