There are also plans to give proper representation to women and leaders of the Dalit community in the cabinet.

PM Modi held a high-level meeting

After the election results were announced on February 8, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed party workers at the BJP headquarters and soon after that held an important meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP National President JP Nadda. In this meeting, the possible candidates for the post of Chief Minister and the formation of the cabinet were discussed. However, no official announcement has been made by the party in this regard so far.

Important meeting at Home Minister's residence

A day before this, on February 7, an important meeting was also held at the residence of the Union Home Minister, in which BJP President JP Nadda, Organization General Secretary BL Santosh, Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva, Election Incharge Vaijayant Jaipanda and other senior leaders participated. In this meeting, discussions were held regarding the structure of the new government of Delhi.

Names of these leaders in discussion

• BJP is working on a strategy to maintain caste and regional balance in Delhi. According to sources, among the leaders whose names are in discussion for the post of Chief Minister, five names have emerged prominently:
• Pravesh Verma: Pravesh Verma, who defeated Arvind Kejriwal from New Delhi Assembly seat, is considered to be the most prominent contender. His political experience and popularity can go in his favor.
• Satish Upadhyay: Satish Upadhyay, considered to be the Brahmin face of BJP, is also in this race.
• Ashish Sood: Ashish Sood, who represents the Punjabi community, is also emerging as a strong candidate. He has also been a councilor and general secretary of Delhi BJP.
• Jitendra Mahajan: Jitendra Mahajan, who comes from the Vaishya community, is considered close to the RSS, which strengthens his claim.
• Vijendra Gupta: Vijendra Gupta's name is also in the news as the former president of Delhi BJP and the Vaishya face of the party.

Possibility of making Deputy CM

The BJP has already achieved balance by adopting the strategy of Deputy CM in many states, in such a situation, the question is bound to arise whether the same formula will be adopted in Delhi as well? If this happens, then the possibility of making a woman MLA the Deputy CM can also be strong.
