Panda, who serves as the national vice president of the Bharatiya Janata Party, will lead the party's efforts in the capital. Additionally, party MP Atul Garg has been named the co-In-Charge for the Delhi polls.

The Delhi Assembly polls are anticipated to take place early next year. The BJP has not held power in Delhi since 1998 and is making concerted efforts to defeat Aam Aadmi Party leader and former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, a prominent critic of the BJP, under whom the AAP has emerged as a national party.
