KHURANA, THE BJP LEADER WHO WAS LET DOWN BY CENTRAL LEADERSHIP
The Business Guardian
|October 19, 2024
Former Delhi Chief Minister Madan Lal Khurana was without doubt the top most BJP leader from the capital who was instrumental in building the party in the city.
-
He was immensely popular and as long as he was the face of the Saffron brigade, the BJP was always confident of humbling its opponents in the polls. Khurana was also one leader who won more elections than anybody else in Delhi; he had been victorious in ten out of 11 polls he contested, the only time he lost was in 1984 during the massive Congress wave following the assassination of Indira Gandhi. On Tuesday, his family and well-wishers celebrated his 88th birth anniversary, and going by the huge attendance, it was clear that he continues to be amongst the most respected leaders of the BJP. Khurana was phenomenal and many consider him amongst the top most leaders of the city, Chaudhury Brehm Prakash and HKL Bhagat being the others. Sheila Dikshit was the longest serving Chief Minister of Delhi but she was never a leader.
The party is nowhere after her tenure got over when she suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Arvind Kejriwal in the 2013 Assembly elections and forfeited her deposit in the process.
