Title: Delhi could again see 3 BJP CMs in the next 5 years: AAP’s Rai
In a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Gopal Rai, who is also a prominent face of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has predicted that Delhi may again see three CMs in the next five years. Rai made this statement while criticizing the BJP for not selecting a chief minister after winning the Delhi Assembly polls. He claimed that this move shows that the party does not have a face.
The statement made by Rai has sparked a heated debate in the political circles, with many wondering if this could indeed be the case. For those who may not know, this is not the first time that the BJP has had multiple chief ministers in a short span. Between 1993 and 1998, when the party was last in power in Delhi, it had three different chief ministers.
Rai’s statement comes at a time when the Delhi Assembly is currently in a state of limbo, with no clear indication of who will take over as the chief minister. The BJP won the recent Delhi Assembly polls, but it is yet to announce a chief minister. This has led to widespread speculation about who will take over the reins of the city.
The AAP leader’s statement has been viewed as a veiled attack on the BJP’s leadership and its inability to decide on a chief minister. Rai claimed that the BJP’s decision not to select a chief minister shows that it does not have a strong leader who can take charge of the city. He also claimed that this move is a sign of the party’s weakness and instability.
The BJP, on the other hand, has dismissed Rai’s statement as baseless and without substance. The party has claimed that it will announce a chief minister soon and that it has a clear plan in place for the city.
So, what does the past tell us about the possibility of Delhi seeing three CMs in the next five years? To answer this question, let’s take a look at the history of the BJP in Delhi.
As mentioned earlier, the BJP had three different chief ministers between 1993 and 1998. The first chief minister was Madan Lal Khurana, who took over in 1993 and served until 1996. He was followed by Sushma Swaraj, who took over in 1996 and served until 1998.
The reasons behind the BJP having multiple chief ministers during this period are complex and multifaceted. One of the main reasons was the party’s internal squabbles and power struggles. The BJP was a relatively new party at the time and was still trying to establish itself in Delhi. This led to a lot of infighting and power struggles within the party, which ultimately led to the party having multiple chief ministers.
Another reason was the party’s inability to win a clear majority in the Delhi Assembly. The BJP won the most seats in the 1993 and 1996 Assembly polls, but it did not win a clear majority. This led to the party having to form coalitions and alliances with other parties to stay in power, which ultimately led to the party having multiple chief ministers.
Fast forward to the present day, and it is clear that the BJP is facing similar challenges. The party won the recent Delhi Assembly polls, but it did not win a clear majority. This has led to widespread speculation about who will take over as the chief minister and whether the party will be able to form a stable government.
In conclusion, while it is difficult to predict the future with certainty, it is clear that the BJP has a history of having multiple chief ministers in a short span. This was the case between 1993 and 1998, and it is possible that this could happen again in the next five years.
AAP leader Gopal Rai’s statement has sparked a heated debate in the political circles, and it remains to be seen whether his prediction will come true. One thing is certain, however, and that is that the Delhi Assembly will be closely watched in the coming months as the BJP tries to form a stable government and announce a chief minister.
