BJP fields ex-MP Ramesh Bidhuri against CM Atishi in first list in Delhi

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday, January 4, released its first list of 29 candidates for the polls to the 70-member Delhi Assembly, fielding former MP Parvesh Verma from the New Delhi seat against ex-chief minister and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal. It has named another former MP Ramesh Bidhuri from Kalkaji, where



chief minister and AAP candidate Atishi is in the fray.

Former MP Ramesh Bidhuri is infamous for his Islamaphobic stance in the Parliament where he termed Lok Sabha MP Danish Ali as a “Muslim ugrawadi” (Muslim terrorist), “Bharwa” (pimp), and “katwa” (circumcised) on the floor of the house.
