He can even be made the CM face of BJP in Delhi. It is being claimed that BJP can give ticket to Smriti Irani from Delhi Cantt or Greater Kailash assembly seat. It is reported that BJP is planning to field a strong face in front of Delhi Cabinet Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj.
Delhi Assembly elections are becoming very interesting. Congress is nowhere to be seen in this election and BJP is continuously surprising people with new strategies. After fielding Pravesh Verma against Arvind Kejriwal and Ramesh Bidhuri against Atishi, BJP is in the mood to give a tough fight to another AAP leader. It is being said that the BJP high command may field Smriti Irani in the Delhi Assembly elections. He had to face defeat in the Lok Sabha elections from Amethi. Smriti Irani will not be able to forget the figure of one lakh 66 thousand easily. While challenging Rahul Gandhi in Amethi, Smriti Irani had lost the 2024 Lok Sabha elections by more votes than this. That too in front of KL Sharma, who was playing the role of an ordinary party worker. Experts believed that there was a lot of resentment among the people of Amethi against Smriti Irani. Earlier in 2019, she had defeated Rahul Gandhi. Then the discussion started that Rahul Gandhi has stopped coming to Amethi. Now after Smriti Irani lost the elections, this thing has turned upside down. It is claimed that Smriti Irani has stopped going to Amethi. After the defeat in the Lok Sabha, his politics came to naught. She was also out of Parliament and was not seen in many public appearances.
Now suddenly the presence of Smriti Irani is visible in Delhi elections. Sources are even claiming that he can even be made the CM face of BJP in Delhi. It is being claimed that BJP can give ticket to Smriti Irani from Delhi Cantt or Greater Kailash assembly seat. There is news that BJP is planning to field a strong face in front of Delhi Cabinet Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj. Anyway, BJP does not seem to have any big face in Delhi. In such a situation, Smriti Irani can fill this gap. There is also news that BJP can also present Smriti Irani as the female chief ministerial face. At present, the command of Delhi is in the hands of a woman CM. Even before Atishi, Delhi had got a woman Chief Minister twice. In 1998, Sushma Swaraj became the first woman Chief Minister of Delhi. However, Swaraj could remain CM for only 52 days. When the election results came, BJP had lost the election badly. When the election results came in 1998 itself, Congress won and made Sheila Dikshit the CM. She remained CM for 15 consecutive years.
You might remember Smriti Irani’s victory in 2019 when she defeated Rahul Gandhi in Amethi. With that victory, Smriti Irani’s stature had increased considerably. She was included among the powerful leaders of BJP. But there was a time when Smriti was seen opening a front against Narendra Modi. In 2004, Smriti Irani had strongly criticized Narendra Modi, who was then the Chief Minister of Gujarat. She had even demanded Modi’s resignation for the Gujarat riots and had said that she would go on a hunger strike for this. Although she did not sit on fast. The sourness of 2004 changed into sweetness with time and a decade later, during the 2014 election campaign, Smriti Irani was seen loudly praising Narendra Modi. In a TV interview, Smriti had admitted that her view of Narendra Modi on the Gujarat riots was very cruel.
