Smriti Irani’s Growing Influence in Delhi BJP

Former Amethi MP Smriti Irani is increasingly involved in Delhi BJP activities, spearheading the party’s membership drive in several districts. Speculation arises over her potential role in local politics ahead of assembly elections. This involvement hints at her positioning within the party against the backdrop of a possible leadership contest for the Delhi Assembly polls.

Former Amethi MP Smriti Irani's growing involvement in Delhi BJP activities has sparked speculation about her potential role in local politics ahead of next year's assembly elections.

Actively participating in the party's membership drive since September, Irani has been overseeing efforts in seven of the Delhi BJP's 14 district units. Insiders suggest her recent house purchase in south Delhi indicates her deeper engagement with the city's party unit.

Party leaders argue that a unified leadership approach is essential for the upcoming elections, hinting at Irani as a potential chief ministerial candidate. The debate over a leadership face is poised to intensify, especially if AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, currently in judicial custody, secures bail and re-engages in political activities.
