Harsh Malhotra: The Dark Horse of Delhi Politics

Harsh Malhotra, a first-time MP and newly appointed Union minister of state, is recognized for his organizational skills and grassroots-level work in strengthening the BJP in Delhi. He has a longstanding political career, defeating his opponent in the 2024 general elections and being involved in various public welfare projects.

Harsh Malhotra, a first-time MP, was sworn in as a Union minister of state in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government on Sunday. Known for his organizational acumen and grassroots work, Malhotra has been instrumental in strengthening the BJP's base in Delhi.

In a surprise move, Malhotra was preferred over three-time MP Manoj Tiwari and Bansuri Swaraj, daughter of former union minister Sushma Swaraj, for a ministerial role. He ran for the East Delhi Lok Sabha seat, replacing cricketer Gautam Gambhir, and defeated INDIA bloc's Kuldeep Kumar by nearly 94,000 votes.

Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva praised Malhotra's appointment, describing it as a recognition of grassroots workers in Delhi. With a solid educational background and numerous public welfare projects under his belt, Malhotra's rise marks a significant moment in Delhi's political landscape.
