NEW DELHI, MAR 2: Bharatiya Janata Party Lok Sabha MP Gautam Gambhir on Saturday requested party president J P Nadda to relieve him of his political duties which meant that he won’t contest the forthcoming Lok Sabha Elections.

The former cricketer, who represented East Delhi constituency said he wants to focus on his upcoming cricket commitments.

Gambhir also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for allowing him to serve the people.

“I have requested Hon’ble party president J P Nadda ji to relieve me of my political duties so that I can focus on my upcoming cricket commitments. I sincerely thank Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi ji and Home Minister Amit Shah ji for giving me the opportunity to serve the people. Jai Hind!,” Gambhir wrote on X.

Notably, there are seven Lok Sabha constituencies in Delhi viz. Chandni Chowk, North East Delhi, East Delhi, North West Delhi, New Delhi, West Delhi and South Delhi — all 7 held by BJP.

As per party sources, there is a strong possibility that BJP may this time introduce new faces. It is highly anticipated that the party may replace the current MP from northwest Delhi, Hans Raj Hans and Chandi Chowk MP Dr Harsh Vardhan.

The BJP is likely to unveil its first list of candidates for the 2024 Lok Sabha election, comprising more than 100 names, later in the evening.

“I have requested Hon’ble party president J P Nadda ji to relieve me of my political duties so that I can focus on my upcoming cricket commitments. I sincerely thank Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi ji and Home Minister Amit Shah ji for giving me the opportunity to serve the people. Jai Hind!,” Gambhir said on X.
