With Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, BJP bets big on experience to take on Kejriwal

Bidhuri is the most experienced among those who are in active politics in Delhi and a prominent face among the Gurjars

When the Delhi unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, one of its eight MLAs in the city-state, will be Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly, many, especially the young who are not clued in about his volatile career in Delhi politics, were taken aback.

His name for the job was proposed by BJP leader Vijender Gupta, who is considered his disciple. Gupta was his predecessor in the Assembly’s previous term.

He has had a tortuous journey in associating himself with political parties, be it the Congress, Janata Dal, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), Nationalist Congress
