Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal posted a tweet in which he took a jibe at BJP, extending his best wishes to 7 leaders of the saffron party on the occasion of new year, and referred to them as the probable CM candidates. These leaders included Gautam Gambhir, Manoj Tiwari, Vijay Goel, Hardeep Singh Puri, Harsh Vardhan, Vijender Gupta and Parvesh Singh. Let us have a look at these BJP leaders analysing how significant they’ll be for the polls in Delhi. (Photo Credit: IANS)
With Delhi set to go to elections, Manoj Tiwari is seen as one of the frontrunners for the chief ministerial post in the BJP. Tiwari belongs to Purvanchal, a region that also has a sizable population in Delhi-NCR. (Photo Credit: IANS)

However, media reports surfaced that Hardeep Singh Puri has no intentions to run for the post of Delhi chief minister, the Union Minister is seen as the top contender for the post. (Photo Credit: IANS)
BJP heavyweight and Union Minister Harsh Vardhan’s candidature for the CM post can not be ruled out. The seasoned politician in Harsh Vardhan can also be BJP’s top priority in Delhi. (Photo Credit: IANS)
If any candidate who withstood Kejriwal’s wave in Delhi, it was Vijendra Gupta. Gupta has been one of the very few from Delhi BJP, who survived the Kejriwal juggernaut. (Photo Credit: IANS)
Pravesh Verma, a lesser known leader is not new to the Politics of Delhi. His father Sahib Singh Verma was not just a BJP leader but he was also the Chief Minister of Delhi. The BJP, which is known for providing people with CMs like Fadnavis, Rahubar Das, in all probability, can go for Pravesh Verma. (Photo Credit: IANS)
Vijay Goel has been one BJP leader who has been attacking Kejriwal govt from issues like corruption to regularising the unauthorised colonies. His candidature for the post thus can not be ruled out. (Photo Credit: PTI)
