“We are ready with our list. We are just waiting for a call from the Central Election Committee. The candidates names may be finalised by Friday,” said OP Kohli, Delhi BJP chief.

Ticket seekers have already started hectic parleys. BJP sources said that the state unit has shortlisted two candidates from each of the seven Lok Sabha seat. While from the New Delhi seat, the names doing the round include that of former MP Vijay Goel and yesteryear’s Bollywood star Hema Malini, from the south Delhi constituency the two names doing the round include Tughlaqabad MLA Ramesh Bidhuri and former Delhi chief minister Sahib Singh Verma’s son Parvesh Verma. Verma, however, is keen to fight from west Delhi seat. Jagdish Mukhi, BJP MLA from Janakpuri is vying for ticket from the west Delhi seat.

From North-West seat the names of former mayor Meera Kanwaria and former MP Anita Arya are doing the round.
