The new cabinet is expected to include a strong mix of women and Dalit leaders.

With 48 out of 70 seats in its bag, the BJP has ended its 26-year-long wait to return to power in Delhi, pushing the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party down to just 22 seats.

A senior BJP leader hinted that the party is weighing its options carefully—considering a candidate with a Purvanchal background, a Sikh leader, or a woman, depending on what works best politically. Past elections in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Odisha suggest that the party leadership keeps its cards close to the chest before making a big announcement.

Rekha Gupta – Rekha Gupta (Shalimar Bagh MLA) is seen as a frontrunner. She is also the national vice president of the BJP’s women’s wing and won her seat with a comfortable margin of 29,595 votes.
