Delhi elections: Not a contender for any post, says BJP's Ramesh Bidhuri

New Delhi: Ramesh Bidhuri, former MP and BJP's candidate from Kalkaji seat against Delhi CM Atishi, issued a statement on Sunday dismissing as "completely baseless" AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal's claim that he will become the CM if the BJP comes to power.

In an "appeal to the people of Delhi", Bidhuri said, "My party has given me a lot; I am not a contender to any post. Arvind Kejriwal has launched a misleading campaign against me. I wish to make it clear that I am not a contender for any post."

Kejriwal's words that Bidhuri may become the chief minister if BJP wins the assembly polls are being seen as an attempt to warn the people of the consequences if this comes true. Bidhuri had made objectionable remarks against Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Atishi. Earlier, he had used communal and abusive language against the then BSP MP Danish Ali in the previous Lok Sabha.


"I am as dedicated to the BJP as to the people. All talk about me becoming the chief minister is completely baseless. I will always continue to work for you," Bidhuri said in his appeal to the people of Delhi.
