BJP NAMES FIVE NOMINEES FOR DELHI'S LS SEATS

Former Union Minister Sushma Swaraj’s daughter Bansuri figured prominently among the five BJP candidates for Lok Sabha seats in Delhi whose names were announced on Saturday, betting big on fresh faces while resting four sitting MPs. No candidate was announced for the East Delhi seat held by Gautam Gambhir, who has requested the party to relieve him of the political duties so that he can focus on his cricket commitments.

Out of the five names announced on Saturday, two are women. Bansuri Swaraj will contest from the New Delhi seat, currently held by Meenakshi Lekhi; former Chandni Chowk MLA Praveen Khandelwal will fight from Chandni Chowk, currently held by Dr Harsh Vardhan; former mayor Kamaljeet Shehrawat has been fielded from West Delhi, currently held by Parvesh Verma; and Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri will replace Ramesh Bidhuri as the party candidate from the South Delhi seat.
