BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri Leads in a Tough Contest Against
Atishi
In the Kalkaji constituency, BJP candidate Ramesh
Bidhuri has taken an early lead against Delhi Chief Minister Atishi,
according to initial election results. The contest is shaping up to be one of
the most closely watched battles in the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections.
Who is Ramesh Bidhuri?
A veteran BJP leader, Ramesh Bidhuri has been a
prominent figure in Delhi politics for decades. He has twice served
as an MP from South Delhi and has been elected three times as an MLA
from Tughlakabad. His political journey began in 1993, and he
later held key positions in Delhi BJP, including serving as district
president (1997-2003) and vice president (2003-2008).
This election, BJP has positioned Bidhuri in Kalkaji
to challenge Atishi, who is seeking another term.
Bidhuri vs. Atishi: A Heated Contest
The campaign in Kalkaji has been intense, with Bidhuri
making controversial remarks about Atishi, questioning her name change and
comparing her to a deer during his rallies.
Atishi, who secured a victory in Kalkaji during the 2020
elections, is working to retain her seat. Meanwhile, the Congress has
also entered the fray, fielding Alka Lamba, making the battle even more
competitive.
What Lies Ahead?
With counting still underway, it remains to be seen whether Bidhuri
can maintain his lead or if Atishi will stage a comeback. The final results
will play a crucial role in determining Delhi’s political landscape.
