Praveen Khandelwal biography

Praveen Khandelwal, the secretary of the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), replaced the two-time MP and former Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan from the seat to become the new Member of the Parliament from Chandni Chowk constituency.

Chandni Chowk, a historic and bustling area in Delhi, is one of the key battlegrounds for the general election. The constituency has a rich cultural heritage and is known for its vibrant markets, narrow lanes, and iconic landmarks. Praveen Khandelwal’s candidature reflected the party’s strategy to field candidates with strong local connections and a pulse on the issues that matter to the people of Chandni Chowk.

As the BJP’s representative, Praveen Khandelwal's background as a trade leader positions him well in understanding the business community's needs and working towards their upliftment.

The battle for Chandni Chowk was a close one, as Khandelwal defeated his close opponent, Congress' Jai Prakash Aggarwal, by 89,325 votes.
