New Delhi (National Times)– The newly elected Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Delhi has announced that one of its top priorities will be the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe corruption allegations under the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government.
BJP leader Parvesh Verma, who secured a major victory by defeating former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the New Delhi constituency, made the announcement while addressing party workers amid celebrations of the party’s landslide victory in the Delhi Assembly Elections 2025.
BJP Leadership to Decide on New Chief Minister
Speaking to ANI, Verma credited the party’s success to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, stating that the party’s decision on the next Chief Minister will be made in consultation with elected MLAs.
“In our party, the legislative group decides the Chief Minister, and the party leadership approves it. We all stand by the decision taken by our leaders,” Verma said when asked about speculation regarding his own candidacy for the role.
He also expressed gratitude to the voters of New Delhi, the BJP’s dedicated workers, and top leaders like PM Modi, BJP National President JP Nadda, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for leading a strong campaign that resonated with the people.
BJP’s Key Priorities for Delhi
Verma outlined the top priorities of the BJP government, which include:
✅ Rs 2,500 financial aid for women
✅ Formation of an SIT to investigate corruption allegations against AAP
✅ Development of the Yamuna riverfront
✅ Reducing pollution levels in Delhi
✅ Easing traffic congestion
“We will develop Delhi into a capital that every citizen will be proud of,” he assured.
BJP’s Campaign Against AAP’s Alleged Corruption
During the campaign, the BJP consistently attacked AAP over allegations of corruption, targeting Kejriwal’s government with accusations related to the Delhi liquor policy scam and extravagant spending on official residences, referring to his bungalow as “Sheesh Mahal.”
People of Delhi Have Chosen Change, Says Swati Singh Verma
Parvesh Verma’s wife, Swati Singh Verma, echoed similar sentiments, stating that Delhiites were frustrated with the governance of the past 26 years and were eager for real development.
“This victory reflects the trust people have in BJP and PM Modi. The residents of Delhi were tired of false promises, and they have now chosen a government that will bring true progress,” she said.
