Parvesh Verma Triumphs Over Arvind Kejriwal in New Delhi Election: A Viral Family Moment Steals the Show
Feb, 8 2025
The political landscape in New Delhi witnessed a seismic shift when BJP's Parvesh Verma secured a decisive victory over Arvind Kejriwal in the February 2025 election. This win marks a significant moment in Delhi politics, showcasing BJP's newfound momentum in the capital. Verma's win was not only a personal achievement but also a testament to the strategic push by BJP in tackling issues like infrastructure and governance.
Adding a personal touch to this political success is a heartwarming viral video of Verma and his daughter, Sanidhi Singh. Originally posted in January, the video resurfaced following the election victory, capturing the attention of many. The candid moment between father and daughter includes Verma reminiscing about his participation in a traditional Uttarakhandi festival. Sanidhi's disbelief at her father's dance skills captured hearts, further endearing Verma to many on social media. This glimpse into his familial ties humanized his campaign and may have resonated well with voters.
The electoral triumph was a family affair, with Sanidhi and her sister Trisha actively engaging in their father's campaign. They expressed sincere gratitude to the voters for their trust and support. Trisha, reflecting on the outcome, pointedly critiqued the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) governance, highlighting that the public chose truth over what she termed 'lies.' Meanwhile, Verma's wife, Swati Singh, attributed his success to the electorate's confidence in the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.
Verma's background sets him apart as well. Born into a politically influential family, his father, the late Sahib Singh Verma, was a distinguished former Chief Minister of Delhi. Parvesh Verma's own political journey began in 2013 with a win in the Mehrauli assembly seat, then transitioned to national politics where he held the West Delhi Lok Sabha seat in both 2014 and 2019, known for securing impressive margins. His return to state politics this year marked a full-circle moment, with this being his first assembly contest since 2013.
The BJP's strategic focus in Delhi aimed at enhancing infrastructure and introducing governance reforms, resonating with the populace enough to secure a majority in the assembly, with the party leading in 48 out of 70 seats. Verma’s daughters played an instrumental role in personalizing his campaign, often sharing insights into his life beyond politics and connecting with everyday voters. This approach seems to have paid dividends, turning a political contest into a relatable story of family, trust, and change.
