Two-time BJP Lok Sabha MP from New Delhi Meenakshi Lekhi replaced the party’s veteran local leader and Union Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan in the Union Cabinet on Wednesday. Party sources said Dr. Harsh Vardhan’s exit heralds his return to Delhi politics given his “seniority, experience and goodwill” in the run-up to the civic elections due early next year. “Dr. Harsh Vardhan was the party’s Chief Ministerial candidate in the 2013 Delhi Assembly elections. No one knows the city as well as him and the party’s State unit will do much better if he is at the helm in one way or another, especially with the municipal elections around the corner,” said a senior leader from the party’s State unit.More Related News

Pittie, the editor of the ornithological journal Indian Birds, author of many classic reference books about birds and most recently, a collection of bird essays titled The Living Air: Pleasures of Birds and Birdwatching, was speaking at an event organised by the Archives of the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS).
