Delhi Assembly Election 2025: Assembly elections have not been announced in the capital Delhi yet, but political parties have started making their strategy. Former Union Minister Smriti Irani’s pre-election activism in Delhi has become a topic of discussion. The top leadership of BJP has taken a big step regarding Smriti Irani. Political speculation has intensified after Smriti Irani’s programs were organized in seven districts of the capital Delhi. After Smriti Irani’s activism in Delhi, it is believed that she can be the main face of BJP in the capital. Various discussions are also going on about Smriti Irani’s activism among the state level leaders of the party. It is believed that BJP has activated Smriti Irani in Delhi with a big strategy.
BJP has been out of power in Delhi for a long time
Despite all efforts, the top leadership of BJP has not been able to capture power in Delhi for a long time. Despite the Aam Aadmi Party being powerful, the political equations of Delhi had completely changed. BJP has been out of power in Delhi for the last 26 years and this is the reason why the party has started working on a new strategy much before the Delhi assembly elections this time. If we look at the last two assembly elections of Delhi, then the performance of BJP has been very poor. In both the elections, the party could not even reach double digits. In the year 2015, Kiran Bedi was made the face of the party but she failed to show her magic. Experts believe that this is the reason why the party is working on a new strategy this time.
Trying to take advantage of Smriti’s popularity
Former Union Minister Smriti Irani demolished the Congress’s Amethi fort in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. In 2019, Smriti Irani surprised everyone by defeating Congress veteran Rahul Gandhi by about 55 thousand votes. However, this time Smriti Irani has once again faced defeat in Amethi. She had to face defeat against Congress candidate Kishori Lal Sharma, close to the Gandhi family. Smriti Irani has been considered the main face of the BJP and has also been quite popular among women. In such a situation, the party wants to take advantage of her face in the Delhi Assembly elections. For this reason, the party has scheduled programs of Smriti Irani in seven districts of Delhi.
Memorial programs were organized in many areas of the capital
During the recent Lok Sabha elections, BJP had changed six tickets in the capital Delhi. Only Manoj Tiwari was successful in saving his ticket. The party also got the benefit of this in the Lok Sabha elections. The party now wants to repeat this success of the Lok Sabha elections in the assembly elections. Under this, Smriti Irani’s programs have been scheduled in New Delhi, Chandni Chowk, Shahdara, Mayur Vihar, Karol Bagh, Naveen Shahdara and Keshavpuram.
The decision of the top leadership is a big indication
These programs planned for BJP’s membership drive are being given a lot of importance by the BJP leadership. MPs have been instructed to be present in all these programs. This is the reason why political speculations have heated up regarding Smriti Irani’s activism. Experts believe that Smriti Irani can be the big face of BJP in Delhi. BJP does not have any big leader in Delhi. In such a situation, it is believed that the party is trying to give a big challenge to Congress and AAP through Smriti Irani.
