Parvesh Verma
Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma (Hindi pronunciation: [/pərˈveɪʃ ˈsahɪb sɪŋ ˈvərmə/]) (born 7 November 1977) is an Indian politician currently serving as a Cabinet Minister in the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi. He is also the elected member of the Delhi Legislative Assembly from the New Delhi Assembly constituency, having defeated Aam Aadmi Party's convenor and former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the 2025 election.
Before entering the Delhi Assembly, Verma served two consecutive terms as a Member of Parliament in the Lok Sabha, representing the West Delhi seat from 2014 to 2024. He won the 2014 general election with the highest victory margin among all Delhi candidates, and in 2019 secured the sixth-highest margin in the entire country—also the largest in Delhi's electoral history.
Verma's political journey began in 2013 when he contested and won the Mehrauli Assembly seat, defeating then–Delhi Assembly Speaker and former Cabinet Minister Yoganand Shastri. He is the son of former Delhi Chief Minister Sahib Singh Verma.
Parvesh Verma was born to Sahib Singh Verma, a former Chief Minister of Delhi, and Sahib Kaur on 7 November 1977 in a Hindu Jat family in Delhi. Hailing from the native village of Mundka in Delhi, he has three sisters and a younger brother.
Verma completed his schooling at a government school and later at Delhi Public School, R. K. Puram. Coming from a nationalist and RSS-influenced family background, he undertook his “Balyakal Swayamsewak” ITC training in 1991 at Hari Nagar School in Delhi. He graduated from Kirori Mal College, University of Delhi, and went on to earn his Master of Business Administration degree from the Fore School of Management.
His uncle, Azad Singh Verma, served as the mayor of the North Delhi Municipal Corporation and contested the Mundka Assembly constituency as a BJP candidate in the 2013 Delhi Legislative Assembly elections.
Verma expressed his interest in contesting the West Delhi Lok Sabha Constituency in the 2009 general election, reflecting his growing popularity and grassroots support. During the same period, senior party leader Jagdish Mukhi, the then-Member of the Legislative Assembly from Janakpuri, successfully represented the party for West Delhi. Amahapanchayat held on 22 March 2009 in Dwarka highlighted the widespread admiration and support for Verma’s leadership, showcasing strong encouragement from community members and local organisations.
Verma is married to Swati Verma, the daughter of former Union Minister and senior BJP leader from Madhya Pradesh, Vikram Verma. They have three children: two daughters and a son. He also runs the NGO Rashtriya Swabhiman. Additionally, Swati Verma’s mother, Neena Vikram Verma, is a multiple-term legislator and the sitting MLA from Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, a fact notable for the family's long-standing political lineage.
