"I want to take all the people of Delhi to see Sheesh Mahal. I am writing a letter to CM Atishi to open the doors of Sheesh Mahal because the people of Delhi want to see what happened to the tax they paid. I just hope Arvind Kejriwal doesn't run away from the New Delhi seat. I am setting up a camp soon where I will give employment letters to many people here in New Delhi," Verma told ANI.

Former BJP MP Parvesh Verma was a member of parliament for West Delhi from 2014 to 2024.

Chief minister made this comment about Bidhuri, that BJP did not find him fit enough to be given a ticket in Lok Sabha.

"Ramesh Bidhuri has been an MP from South Delhi for 10 years. His party did not think he was good enough to give him the MP ticket due to his work. If Ramesh Bidhuri's work is not trustworthy for his party, how can the people of the Kalkaji assembly constituency trust him?" she said.

Ramesh Bidhuri has been an MP from South Delhi twice.

The BJP has fielded Dushyant Gautam in Karol Bagh, Manjinder Singh Sirsa in Rajouri Garden, Kailash Gehlot in Bijwasan, and Arvinder Singh Lovely in Gandhi Nagar.
