16:31Now let us also show you the visuals from right outside the Delhi BJP office and the preparations those have been done.
16:37You can see how flags and banners, a lot of flags and banners have been put up at the entry gate.
16:42There is a special enclosure for media persons.
16:45Media today is not allowed inside the BJP headquarters as a crucial meeting to take place.
16:51Special tent has been erected for media and this is the same place where today it will be decided
16:58who is going to be the next chief minister of Delhi.
17:02Large hoardings have been set up across Delhi to welcome the new BJP government.
17:07With Amit Bharadwaj and Piyush Mishra in Delhi, Bureau Report, India Today.
17:14Okay, so we have heard from Piyush, the two names that he thinks are the front runners.
17:19Himanshu ji, you tell us, Piyush told us that Parvesh Verma and Rekha Gupta have more chances.
17:26What do you think?
17:27I think I will amend what Piyush has said a little.
17:31Because if you see, there are two observers.
17:34One is JAT, Om Prakash Dhankar and the other is Ravi Shankar Prasad who comes from Bihar.
17:39Om Prakash Dhankar is from JAT community, from Haryana.
17:43So when such observers are made and sent, it becomes a messaging that maybe this should be done a little differently.
17:52This is a system of the party.
17:53If you see a trend for some time, the observers who were made and sent.
17:57If Manohar Lal Khattar was made and sent, K. Lakshman went with him.
18:01Or you see, Sarvanand Sonewal, Arjun Munda.
18:07So this is a trend.
18:09I think.
18:10There is a connection.
18:11There is a connection.
18:12And because the way BJP has come forward.
18:15I was saying a while ago that BJP has a core voter.
18:20Which has been constant since 1993.
18:24If you look at it, then Vaishya Samaj means Baniya community.
18:28And there is a Punjabi community.
18:31They have never left BJP.
18:33Purvanchal has just come.
18:35If Bahari Delhi, according to which Piyush is saying.
18:39So in Bahari Delhi, in this Vidhan Samaj election, the Bharatiya Janta Party has got two-thirds seats.
18:46But my guess is that Vaishya Samaj or Punjabi.
18:54One of them will be the Chief Minister.
18:56Most of the chances are of Vaishya Samaj.
18:58And in Vaishya Samaj, Piyush has already taken the name of Rekha Gupta.
19:03There is also Jitendra Bahajan, Vijendra Gupta, Anil Goyal.
19:07This has become a long list.
19:09Very long.
19:10That is why I am telling you that you should not speculate.
19:14I believe that the policies that Piyush has taken care of.
19:17Political, social and social engineering.
19:21Delhi is a mini India.
19:23According to that, Piyush has calculated.
19:25Because we are still calculating.
19:27And the calculations that we do.
19:29They often turn out to be wrong in the Bharatiya Janta Party after 2014.
19:33That is why I think that political policies, social policies.
19:38Along with that, keeping in mind casteist policies.
19:41If we talk about the CM's faces.
19:44There is Pravesh Verma.
19:45There can be Rekha Gupta.
19:47Ashish Sood.
19:48Satish Upadhyay.
19:49Jitendra Mahajan.
19:51Mohan Singh Bisht.
19:52He comes from Uttarakhand.
19:53Since the 2008 assembly elections.
19:56Uttarakhand's vote has been with the Bharatiya Janta Party constantly.
20:01Mohan Singh Bisht is a 5th time MLA.
20:03He lost an election in 2015.
20:06After that, he is a permanent MLA.
20:08You cannot ignore him.
20:10Uttarakhand's vote is very strong.
20:12It has an effect on 7 cities.
20:15Whether it is Patparganj.
20:17Or Mustafabad.
20:18Or Karawal Nagar.
20:20There are many such cities where Uttarakhand's voters are very important.
20:24There are many such cities in outer Delhi.
20:27Where Gujjars also live.
20:29If we want to see.
20:30I think the discussion that took place in the Parliamentary Board today.
20:33It has been a discussion about the future of 10 years.
20:37According to that.
20:38I think the Bharatiya Janta Party will definitely have.
20:42The CM who is becoming after 27 years.
20:44He should not come in the situation of 1993.
20:46That in 5 years he had to make 3 Chief Ministers.
20:49Madanlal Khurana.
20:50Sahib Singh Verma.
20:51And in the last 3 months.
20:53That is, in the last 3 months.
20:54Sushma Sauraj.
20:55There was such an internal fight in the party.
20:58Its loss was that.
20:59He went from 1998.
21:01He came in 1925.
21:02He came after 27 years.
21:04It should not happen.
21:05That some such victory.
21:07In that.
21:08It should not happen in 5 years.
21:10That the party's fight.
21:12It is a defeat on the road.
21:13As in Haryana.
21:14Anil Vij gives a statement against his own party.
21:16Or in Rajasthan.
21:17Kirodilal Meena.
21:18To add one thing.
21:19We still remember those images Akshata.
21:21You know like.
21:22Himanshuji also said that.
21:24We should not speculate.
21:25About the Chief Minister Sneh Ma.
21:27We still remember the images.
21:28Of Vasundhara Raji.
21:30Who got really shocked.
21:31Looking at the name of Bajanlal Sharma.
21:32Even she did not know.
21:34That Bajanlal Sharma.
21:36Would be the next Chief Minister.
21:37And when that slip was handed over.
21:40To Vasundhara Raji.
21:41To announce the name of Bajanlal Sharma.
21:43Even she got shocked.
21:44You could see it in her face.
21:45Yes.
21:46Obviously we can have a surprising face.
21:47In Delhi.
21:48And secondly also.
21:49What Piyush is saying.
21:51That how did Bajanlal Sharma's name come.
21:53Rajna Singh caught him a slip.
21:54Vasundhara a little.
21:56Was on the face.
21:57Of surprise.
21:58His surprising face.
21:59Then he read the name.
22:00And proposed.
22:01When Nayab Singh Saini.
22:02Was made Chief Minister.
22:03When Manohar Lal Khattar resigned.
22:04Anil Singh got angry.
22:05He said I am a senior.
22:06I should be made Chief Minister.
22:07And he got angry.
22:08And left.
22:09Sanjay Bhatia.
22:10Who was the Prime Minister.
22:11Of the state.
22:12He was the MP.
22:13He kept holding him.
22:14But he did not get hold of him.
22:15He was the MP.
22:16Of Karnal at that time.
22:17So this scene.
22:18The Bharatiya Janta Party.
22:19Will not want.
22:20That after 27 years.
22:21The grand celebration.

29:12Which is taking place.
29:13Which is taking place.
29:14I was listening to your conversation with Himanshu and Piyush.
29:19And you know that really tells a lot about the saffron party.
29:24You know the BJP will tell when they want to tell.
29:27How secret they can be about their affairs.
29:30And Himanshu has literally not avoiding being speculative.
29:33Has put his eggs in all the baskets.
29:36Almost saying that the probability of anybody.
29:38Of all these top runners becoming CM cannot be ruled out.
29:43And we will have to wait till the end to the last wire.
29:45So it's been an exciting turn of events here.
29:49But talking about Ramlila Maidan.
29:51The BJP plans to make it really exciting here as well.
29:55Because this is a big message.
29:57A show of strength that they plan to give.
30:00And plan to send.
30:01And you can see that all the top brass of the BJP.
30:05Including the chief ministers of various states will be here.
30:10And that's why Ramlila Maidan has been absolutely decked up.
30:1512.30 is the time that has been given.
30:17So this will be like a fortress remember.
30:20Because of the BVIP movements that are going to happen here.
30:25Interestingly there will be a celebration of sorts.
30:28You know because it's happening in Ramlila Maidan.
30:31The choice of it all.
30:33The BJP wants to send in a message.
30:36That this is the people's government.
30:39From the JP movement to the Anna movement.
30:42Ramlila Maidan Akshata has been a symbol of power.
30:48It's been a symbol of the outreach to the people.
30:52And that's one reason that it's going to be a grand gala affair.
30:56We've seen Arvind Kejriwal swear in as the chief minister of Delhi.
31:00Right here in Ramlila Maidan.
31:03We've seen the entire action of the India against corruption.
31:07The movement right there.
31:08So it's an interesting decision to choose this venue.
31:13And as you can see that the Delhi police, the paramilitary forces.
31:18Almost 10 companies have been placed here.
31:21They've been screening and scanning all through the day.
31:24We are told that 5000 security personnel will be enveloping this entire area.
31:31We can already hear the music.
31:33There's going to be dance and celebrations.
31:38Post the swearing in ceremony.
31:40And it'll be interesting.
31:42As you talk about chief ministers.
31:44It'll be interesting to know who will be the other ministers.
31:48Who will be sworn in.
31:50We are told that the other ministers will also be sworn in.
31:53In the notification that's come.
31:57So we'll have to wait and see.
31:59If you ask me.
32:01And at the peril of speculating.
32:04Rekha Gupta could probably be a very strong contender.
32:09Because she has two pluses.
32:11If everybody has one.
32:13She's the only woman leader.
32:16Who is a frontrunner.
32:18And also she belongs to the Baniya community.
32:20So it's almost pretty.
32:23If Rekha Gupta is chosen.
32:25Because then you'll see Delhi having another woman chief minister.
32:29Sushma Swaraj.
32:30Sheila Dixit.
32:31Ati Shi.
32:32Will it be Rekha Gupta next?
32:33But I think one name.
32:34That perhaps stands out in this list.
32:36Who everyone is referring to.
32:37Is Parvesh Verma.
32:38And Himanshu ji.
32:39That's why so much is being said about Parvesh Verma.
32:42Because everyone is saying.
32:43Parvesh Verma defeated Arvind Kejriwal.
32:47In the New Delhi constituency.
32:49So will it seem unfair?
32:51If Parvesh Verma doesn't get the CM throne?
32:54I think you're right.
32:56Parvesh Verma defeated Arvind Kejriwal.
33:00And he's a joint killer.
33:01No one should have any doubt.
33:03And the way he fought the election.
33:06And created a memento.
33:08In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
33:10He lost his ticket.
33:11In 2013 he fought the Vidhan Sabha elections.
33:13From Mehrauli.
33:14He won the elections.
33:15Twice he won the Lok Sabha elections from West Delhi.
33:18With more than 5 lakh votes.
33:20Both times.
33:21But in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
33:23He lost his ticket.
33:24And was given to Kamalji Sehrawat.
33:26When he felt.
33:27That this is a political hurdle in his career.
33:31This has to be removed.
33:32He goes in front of the party command.
33:34He goes in front of the leadership.
33:36And he says that Arvind Kejriwal.
33:38He wants to strike against him.
33:39Where we are standing.
33:41That's the part of the New Delhi seat.
33:43In the New Delhi seat.
33:44If you look at the caste equation.
33:46Akshita was not on Parvesh Verma's side.
33:48But he fought the elections.
33:50Along with fighting the elections.
33:52He defeated Arvind Kejriwal.
33:54This is a big thing.
33:56I am saying the same thing.
33:58If Parvesh Verma does not become the Chief Minister.
34:00Then somewhere.
34:02A big setback will be for him too.
34:04Because.
34:05Sahib Singh Verma.
34:06Who is his father.
34:07When he was removed in 1998.
34:09So Madanlal Khurana.
34:11Who was the former Chief Minister.
34:12In between Sahib Singh Verma.
34:15The political situation was so bad.
34:17That Sahib Singh Verma had to be removed.
34:19And Sushma Swaraj had to be made.
34:21And somewhere.
34:23Parvesh should not be the victim of this politics.
34:25I think.
34:45Well that is unlikely Akshita.
34:47Because after 27 years.
34:49BJP has been able to form the government in Delhi.
34:51And yes there are multiple names.
34:53And BJP is a party which is not known to have rifts.
34:56And if you have rift and if you rebel.
34:58Then your career is almost finished.
35:00So that is unlikely.
35:02So whatever the decision party is going to make.
35:04All party MLA's are going to follow.
35:06And also as you are answering this.
35:08We are also getting the visuals of celebrations.
35:10Outside BJP headquarters.
35:12And in my journalistic career.
35:14I have never seen such celebrations taking place.
35:16In front of Delhi BJP office.
35:18You know a BJP leader.
35:20A senior BJP leader once was telling me that.
35:22We have celebrated victory of BJP in other states.
35:24But we have never celebrated victory of ours.
35:26And then we are here in Delhi.
35:28Then it is certainly going to be grand.
35:30I am not.
35:32Agree with the views.
35:34In my journalistic career.
35:36I have seen many celebrations here.
35:38And three times.
35:40I have won the corporation election from here.
35:42Seven. Twelve. Seventeen.
35:44Three times there has been celebration here.
35:46So in my journalistic career.
35:48I have celebrated many times in Delhi BJP.
35:50But the question is.
35:52That such a grand victory.
35:54Of which Jaikar Piyush was doing.
35:56It really means a lot for the Bharatiya Janata Party.
35:58And the Bharatiya Janata Party.
36:00Is doing this grand celebration.
36:02Because after 27 years.
36:04We have won this victory.
36:06And when we lost.
36:08When we lost.
36:10When we lost.
36:12When we lost.
36:14When we lost.
36:16When we lost.
36:18When we lost.
36:20When we lost.
36:22When we lost.
36:24When we lost.
36:26When we lost.
36:28When we lost.
36:30When we lost.
36:32When we lost.
36:34When we lost.
36:36We are presuming.
36:38Looking at the equations.
36:40Politically, socially.
36:42Looking at the caste equations.
36:44Looking at the political experience.
36:46Or the decisions taken by the BJP.
36:48In the past.
36:50We are still thinking accordingly.
36:52But what is going on.
36:54In the Prime Minister's mind.
36:56It will be very difficult to measure this.
36:58Because all the decisions.
37:00They have taken in the last 2-3 years.
37:02They have taken very big decisions.
37:04Out of the box.
37:06Out of the box.
37:08I will give you an example.
37:10We were at a dinner in 2015.
37:12The Prime Minister came there.
37:14Someone asked him.
37:16When will the cabinet reshuffle?
37:18Who will be the ministers?
37:20He pointed to a big minister.
37:22He said.
37:24I will do it with this hand.
37:26Even this hand will not know.
37:28This is his style of working.
37:30Working style.
37:32And in 2017.
37:34Chhattisgarh.
37:36Madhya Pradesh.
37:38Rajasthan.
37:40Odisha.
37:42The assembly election in 2017.
37:44No one thought that Yogi Adityanath.
37:46Will become the Chief Minister.
37:48There was no name.
37:50He became the Chief Minister.
37:52Dinesh Sharma will become the Chief Minister.
37:54No one thought.
37:56The Prime Minister thinks.
37:58Out of the box.
38:00He thinks.
38:02About the future planning.
38:04How to plan.
38:06To win.
38:08To continue.
38:10After seeing all the equations.
38:12He takes the decision.
38:14Madhya Pradesh's decision.
38:16Mohan Yadav.
38:182% vote.
38:20Mohan Yadav is the Chief Minister.
38:22Vishnudev Sahay.
38:24He was a minister.
38:26He lost the ticket in 2019.
38:28Mohan Yadav became the Chief Minister.
38:30Mohan Yadav became the Chief Minister.
38:32Mohan Yadav became the Chief Minister.
38:34Bhajanlal Sharma.
38:36He was the General Secretary of the party.
38:38He fought for the first time.
38:40He fought with the safest seat.
38:42He became the Chief Minister.
38:44This is their strategy.
38:46The message is.
38:48The party's workers.
38:50They can go to the top.
38:52For example.
38:54Bhajanlal Sharma.
38:56Mohan Yadav.
38:58He was the Chief Minister.
39:00These are examples.
39:02The party's workers.
39:04They can go to the top.
39:06Very important lesson.
39:08When this kind of a lesson goes out.
39:10It is also about.
39:12You can never guess.
39:14The Prime Minister.
39:16Keeps it very close to him.
39:18Nobody knows what is going on in his mind.
39:20He can guess all we want.
39:22But it will be his final say.
39:24that building with all of the MLAs.
39:25We've told you about really who could be the front runners.
39:28What does social media think?
39:30Here's an interesting data figure
39:32on who social media thinks could be the chief minister,
39:35and this is based on the buzz trends that we've picked up.
39:38If you look at really the number of posts on the leaders,
39:41Rekha Gupta tops that list with 2,300 posts on her name.
39:45Parvesh Verma second to that list,
39:471,600 posts referring to Parvesh.
39:50Vijendra Gupta is third.
39:51Then you have Satish Upadhyay,
39:53Ashish Sood.
39:54You see that list and our contender list
39:55more or less matches up.
39:57And then you look at who gained the most followers
40:00after the Delhi election results.
40:02Not surprising that Parvesh Verma's number one on that list
40:04because of, of course, the big bang headline
40:07that emerged from his all day
40:08of him defeating Arvind Kejriwal.
40:10Then you have Rekha Gupta,
40:11then Satish Upadhyay,
40:13Ashish Sood,
40:14Vijendra Gupta.
40:14You look at this,
40:16you definitely get a sense
40:17that Rekha Gupta is also a favorite.
40:21Parvesh Verma, of course, very much
40:22because his name has been doing the rounds from day one.
40:25But we're just about an hour away
40:27from getting answers to all of our questions
40:29as to who will be the chief minister of Delhi.
40:32Look, we've all tried to go ahead
40:34and hazard a guess about who it's going to be.
40:36We've looked at all the permutations,
40:38combinations, pros, cons, and whatnot.
40:41Ultimately, there's one man in the BJP who will decide.
40:44And it's very few people who actually know at this point
40:48who is the next Delhi chief minister.
40:50But our suspense will finally come to an end very, very soon.
40:57Okay, as we count down to the announcement
40:59on who will be the next chief minister,
41:02let's talk about what we're hearing from our sources.
41:04The BJP observers' meet is underway
41:06to pick the Delhi chief minister.
41:07They'll be coming here next.
41:08In fact, in about 10 minutes, they're expected here.
41:11Sources telling us that there's a possibility
41:13of a Bhaniya face also being made,
41:16the Delhi chief minister.
41:17Sushant, who tracks everything Delhi,
41:20everything national capital, is with us here.
41:23Sushant, I've taken the name of a frontrunner from Piyush.
41:26Himanshuji gave me a long list.
41:29Who do you think is the frontrunner?
41:30Will a Bhaniya face get the CM throne this time?
41:34The hope is that the Bhaniya face
41:37and the Vaishya Samaj,
41:38who have risen to the occasion and voted in Delhi,
41:40and are considered a traditional vote bank of the BJP.
41:44You might have seen in the BJP slogans
41:46that the BJP members are Bhaniyas.
41:48So, there's a possibility of a Bhaniya face.
41:51This slogan wasn't even mentioned in Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
41:53Once he went to campaign,
41:55he found out that the Vaishya Samaj were angry.
41:57So, in Chandni Chowk, he said that the BJP members are Bhaniyas.
42:01So, the workers who were angry,
42:03and the cadre who were angry,
42:05they all agreed.
42:06So, Sushant is absolutely right.
42:09So, I think that factor will come forward.
42:12And the BJP, in all the previous elections,
42:15in the 2020 elections,
42:17the Bhaniya Samaj went with Kejriwal in Delhi.
42:20And the BJP government couldn't form.
42:23This time, the Bhaniyas have voted unanimously.
42:25And I think that to bring forward that entire cause,
42:28and to continue to support it,
42:30the BJP will bring forward the Bhaniya Samaj.
42:33And the face of the BJP...
42:34He himself is a Bhaniya.
42:35So, it's a message.
42:36Yeah, message also.
42:37So, do you think that Rekha Gupta's chance...
42:39Rekha Gupta is a counter that Sushma had left.
42:43And Rekha Gupta is a replacement for a woman.
42:46Okay.
42:46So, because of that, there's a possibility of,
42:49in fact, a Bhaniya being chosen as Chief Minister.
42:52But look, we can't rule anything out.
42:53It's the BJP.
42:54They're known to spray more than a surprise or two.
42:57But I'll just run you through some data
42:59of the caste combination that the BJP has figured
43:02of Chief Ministers.
43:04The BJP's Chief Ministers,
43:05and what's really missing in that entire combine.
43:08If you look at Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma,
43:10Brahmin, Arunachal Pradesh,
43:12Premakanto, of course, belongs to the Mombak tribe,
43:14which is a scheduled tribe.
43:16In Chhattisgarh, you have Vishnu Deosai,
43:18which was again a surprise move.
43:20Again, scheduled tribe category.
43:22In Goa, Maratha, Pramod Sawant, Maharashtra,
43:26you have a Brahmin in Devendra Fadnavis in Gujarat.
43:29Pattidare in Bhupendra Patel.
43:31Madhya Pradesh, OBC face.
43:33Haryana, Saini, OBC face.
43:35In Odisha, again, ST.
43:37Rajasthan, it's a Brahmin face in Bajanlal Sharma.
43:40In Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Kshatriya.
43:42Yogi Adityanath and Pushkar Singh Dhami.
43:44When you look at that particular breakdown,
43:46Piyush, what's missing?
43:48What is the gap that they'd like to fill here in Delhi?
43:51Well, BJP would certainly like,
43:53we have been discussing that,
43:54BJP would certainly like to focus
43:56not only on Baniya factor, but also a female factor.
43:58Like, you know,
44:01BJP also has a dearth of senior female, women leaders.
44:05So that could also be the possibility.
44:07So Rekha Gupta ticks two boxes.
44:08Yes, yes.
44:09Women leader and also Baniya.
44:13Then after that, we have another gap
44:16of fulfilling the aspirations of JATs in Haryana.
44:19Because in Haryana, we have a non-JAT chief minister.
44:22So most likely people who live in Haryana
44:25and are a good part of JATs are also there.
44:28They could also be happy if Parvez Sharma is made.
44:31And then a few sections in Western Uttar Pradesh also,
44:34we have a good amount of JATs living there.
44:37So BJP can fulfill their wishes also.
44:40So after that, Parvez Sharma, Rekha Gupta,
44:42and then we have Baniya, like we have also been discussing,
44:45that could also be the focus point.
44:47We have to see what are the factors on which...
44:49So you see, Jay Panda, who's just coming in,
44:51he's been, of course, the Delhi in-charge,
44:54has been following everything.
44:56Manjinder Singh Sirsa, also entering there.
44:58Possibility perhaps of Sirsa also being in the CM race,
45:01Punjabi phase, the BJP could choose to give him a leg up,
45:05but definitely part of the Delhi cabinet.
45:08So the action has kicked off here.
45:09Manjinder Singh Sirsa made his way in,
45:11Jay Panda there, they're not really willing
45:13to interact with the media right now,
45:14making their way straight inside.
45:17But the political action now picking up here,
45:19the meeting expected to begin
45:20in just a few moments from now.
45:22Manjinder Singh Sirsa making his way through,
