New Delhi | August 20, 2023 : The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has taken robust strides towards the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections by appointing coordinators for all seven Lok Sabha constituencies in Delhi. In a proactive move, the party aims to secure its stronghold in the city by strategically placing experienced leaders at the helm of these constituencies. As political discussions about alliances and potential shifts unfold, the BJP is gearing up to face the electoral challenge head-on.
The announcement of in-charges (coordinating heads) comes on the heels of the party’s move to declare assembly candidates for Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Amidst the chatter surrounding a potential alliance between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress, the BJP is focusing on grassroots-level preparations, aiming to bolster its presence across Delhi.
Signaling a potential shift in leadership, the party is expected to replace three to four current Members of Parliament (MPs) in Delhi. This move aligns with the BJP’s proactive approach, evident in the party’s history of organizational expansion and strengthening. As Delhi’s political landscape evolves, the party is determined to secure its grip on all seven constituencies.
Delhi’s unique electoral dynamics add a layer of complexity to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The city’s voting trends have historically differed between Lok Sabha and Legislative Assembly elections. This distinction underscores the BJP’s need to adapt its strategies to the specific demands of each contest.
Key leaders have been assigned to oversee the constituencies. Dinesh Pratap Singh, State Vice President, has been appointed in-charge of the New Delhi Lok Sabha constituency, a domain often dominated by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Harsh Malhotra, Party General Secretary, will take charge of East Delhi. Other constituencies will be managed by seasoned leaders, each with their history of organizational prowess.
In the backdrop of uncertainty surrounding alliances, the BJP remains committed to its goal of retaining all seven seats in Delhi. While the challenges are acknowledged, party insiders remain optimistic. Prominent faces like Meenakshi Lekhi, Manoj Tiwari, and Ramesh Bidhudi are speculated to explore constituency changes. Additionally, newer entrants, including Basuri Swaraj, daughter of the late senior leader Sushma Swaraj, are anticipated to grace the BJP’s ticket in 2024.
As Delhi’s political scene continues to shift, the BJP’s preparations underscore their determination to navigate the evolving dynamics with strategic acumen. The upcoming elections are poised to test the party’s adaptability and electoral prowess.
For now, the party’s focus on Delhi’s constituencies remains unwavering, as they strive to establish a sturdy foundation for their campaign in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
