Then there was a fierce tussle over the CM’s chair in the BJP government. On one side there were former CM Madan Lal Khurana and CM Sahib Singh Verma on the other side. Sushmita Dutta writes in her book ‘Sushma Swaraj: The People’s Ministers’ that the workers of both groups were fighting every day. This led to the perception that the party is not able to rule Delhi.

Here the government was getting infamous due to the increased price of onion, the shortage of electricity and the deteriorating law and order in Delhi. The Congress had fielded Sheila Dixit as the state president as CM face. For Sheela, the BJP leadership needed a woman leader to understand the fiery and Delhi. Somehow Lal Krishna Advani agreed to Sushma Swaraj to take over the reins of Delhi.

Sushma Swaraj agreed with a condition to take over the reins of Delhi as CM. The condition is that if the party loses the assembly elections under her leadership, she will come to the center again. The organization accepted the condition and Sahib Singh Verma announced the name of Sushma Swaraj for the post of CM on 11 October 1998.

Just 52 days of Delhi CM, onion inflation lost power Sushma Swaraj was CM for only 52 days. He did not get a chance to call him till the assembly session. If elections were held, the BJP came out of power due to not being able to control inflation of onion. However, Sushma Hauz managed to save her seat from Khas. Despite this, Sushma resigned from the post of MLA as per the condition and decided to remain an MP from South Delhi.
