Verma, a former Member of Parliament, expressed his gratitude to the party leadership upon receiving the nomination. “I am deeply grateful to our honourable Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi, Home minister respected Amit Shah, BJP National President Jagat Prakash Nadda and delhi State BJP in-charge Mr Panda for the trust bestowed on me for being made the BJP candidate from New delhi Assembly,” he stated. “I have received this responsibility due to your trust and guidance. I will work with full loyalty and dedication and will take delhi towards progress and prosperity,” he added. Verma’s candidacy sets the stage for a high-stakes battle against the incumbent Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who has represented the New Delhi constituency since 2013. The congress party has also entered the fray, fielding Sandeep Dikshit, son of former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, making it a three-cornered contest. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), led by Kejriwal, has enjoyed a commanding presence in Delhi’s political landscape as 2015, securing landslide victories in two consecutive Assembly elections.However, the party has yet to make a significant mark in Lok Sabha polls, failing to win a single seat since 2014. This upcoming election will be a crucial test for the AAP as it seeks to maintain its stronghold in the national capital. The campaign trail has already heated up, with allegations emerging against Verma. The AAP has accused him of distributing cash to women voters in the New Delhi area and lodged a complaint with the Enforcement Directorate (ED), though Verma has denied these allegations.A Heated Battle Looms
