Wed Feb 19 03:18:03 UTC 2025: ## Delhi BJP Gears Up for Grand Swearing-in Ceremony at Ramlila Maidan

**New Delhi, February 19** – Preparations are underway for a lavish swearing-in ceremony for Delhi’s new BJP Chief Minister at Ramlila Maidan on Thursday, February 20th. Over 5,000 security personnel and 10 paramilitary companies will be deployed to ensure a smooth and secure event. Senior BJP leaders, including Chief Ministers from BJP-ruled states, are expected to attend, along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The ceremony, described as “historic and grand” by BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh, is anticipated to draw a massive crowd, including beneficiaries of the BJP’s Mahila Samriddhi Yojana.

While the venue is ready, the identity of the new Chief Minister remains undisclosed. BJP MLAs will meet on Wednesday to formally select their leader, ending days of speculation. The delay has prompted criticism from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), with Gopal Rai sarcastically comparing the situation to a wedding where the groom is yet to be identified.

Despite the secrecy surrounding the CM’s identity, preparations at Ramlila Maidan are reportedly in full swing, with BJP officials overseeing the arrangements and ensuring a festive atmosphere, including musical performances prior to the swearing-in.

Meanwhile, unrelated to the upcoming ceremony, newly elected BJP MLA Ravinder Singh Negi has accused his AAP predecessor, Manish Sisodia, of removing furniture and equipment from his camp office. A separate investigation has been launched into alleged irregularities in the renovation of the former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence.
