Only when Prime Minister Narendra Modi returns from the United States on February 15 is the BJP government in Delhi anticipated to be formed.
Delhi government: In the 2025 Delhi assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) defeated the incumbent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) with a two-thirds majority, marking an amazing return to the nation's capital after 27 years—more than 20 years.According to sources cited by News18, the cabinet formation is now expected to happen only after Prime Minister Narendra Modi returns from his formal visit to the United States on February 15. On February 12–13, PM Modi will visit the United States.
When Will Delhi Ministers and BJP Leaders Take the Oath of Office?
According to the article, which cited senior BJP officials, the new Delhi administration is "unlikely before February 15" - that is, until PM Modi returns from the United States. A "grand swearing-in ceremony in which all top NDA leaders and Chief Ministers will be invited" is what the BJP leaders will have, they claimed.
Who Will Serve in the Delhi Government Under the BJP?
Before the Delhi assembly elections, the BJP did not announce a candidate for chief minister. As has been the case in past assembly elections, Prime Minister Modi served as the spokesperson for the BJP's campaign in Delhi. As a result, conjecture has started on the probable candidate for the position of CM.
According to the News-18 report, Parvesh Verma is the most prominent name being mentioned. He defeated AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal in his stronghold of New Delhi.
Bansuri Swaraj, a first-time MP and daughter of the late veteran BJP leader Sushma Swaraj, is another strong contender. It further stated that she is the current member of the New Delhi Lok Sabha, which was formerly a stronghold of BJP luminaries Atal Bihari Vajpayee and LK Advani.
According to the article, Smirti Irani is the third contender. In the 2019 elections, she defeated Rahul Gandhi in Amethi; in 2024, Rahul Gandhi prevailed. She played a significant role in the BJP's campaigns for the Delhi assembly elections.
Delhi Assembly Elections in 2025
With a two-thirds majority, the BJP swept the ruling AAP from power in the Delhi assembly elections. After 27 years, the saffron party returned to power in the nation's capital with a historic mandate that saw them win 48 seats.
Kejriwal and other AAP leaders lost in their home districts, although Chief Minister Atishi was able to cling onto her seat in Kalkaji.
In the meantime, the Congress, which was expecting for a comeback, lost out on any seats once more. After ruling Delhi for 15 years starting in 1998, the party received a hat-trick of zero votes in the assembly elections.
