Through the new government, BJP has tried to appease the regional and caste groups of Delhi. By making Rekha Gupta the Chief Minister, not only women have been given representation. Caste equations have been taken care of while forming the cabinet.
The CM himself belongs to the Vaishya community, which is traditionally a BJP voter. Pravesh Verma comes from the influential Jat community in the outskirts of Delhi. Manjinder Singh Sirsa is from the Sikh community, while Ashish Sood is from the Punjabi community.
Both these communities have an influential presence in a large area of Delhi. The Punjabi community of Delhi has been a constant supporter of the BJP, while the Sikh community has sometimes supported the Congress and sometimes the BJP. Another minister Ravindra Indraraj Singh is from the Scheduled Caste.
This time, BJP has won four out of the 12 seats reserved for this community in Delhi. In such a situation, the party wants to deepen its penetration in this community through Ravindra Indraraj. At the same time, by making two Purvanchalis Kapil Mishra and Pankaj Singh ministers, the party has also taken along this community, which decides the electoral victory and defeat.
Punjabi and Sikh community also in the government
In the previous government, leaders of Punjabi and Sikh community did not get a place in the cabinet, but BJP removed this shortcoming. In this way, BJP formed the cabinet of Delhi government keeping in mind the social equations and caste representation.
