A former two-term MP from South Delhi and former three-time MLA of the Delhi Assembly, Ramesh Bidhuri is a well-known face within the BJP and in the political sphere as well. BJP has not given Bidhuri a ticket for the 2024 elections as he has been at the centre of a raging controversy over his slurs against BSP MP Danish Ali. Ramesh Bidhuri has been replaced by Rambir Bidhuri.
Ramesh Bidhuri belongs to a prominent family of Tughlakabad , which has been associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for decades. His family is also said to have contributed significantly to the area’s development.
Besides ensuring the construction of a temple, park and school in his constituency, Bidhuri who, accompanied by his local musclemen, drives through the national capital in a cavalcade of SUVs, has “never disappointed” his party when asked to mobilise a crowd for it.
Associated with the RSS since his childhood, Bidhuri is known to be a regular visitor to its local shakha in his area. During his college days he was with the ABVP, the RSS’ students wing, getting elected in 1983 as a central councillor of Shaheed Bhagat Singh College as well as the Delhi University’s Executive Council.
Bidhuri did his B.Com from this college following which he pursued an LLB from Ch. Charan Singh University in Meerut. Subsequently, he rose through the BJP ranks and got close to senior party leaders including Rajnath Singh, the current Defence Minister.
In the Delhi BJP, Bidhuri has held various positions, including the posts of general secretary and vice-president.
During the campaigning for the 2019 Lok Sabha election, there was a confrontation between the supporters of Bidhuri and the AAP’s candidate from South Delhi, Raghav Chadha, when their paths crossed in the constituency.
A year later, Chadha got fresh ammunition against Bidhuri when a video of him using “derogatory” language against farmers protesting against the Centre’s now-repealed farm laws at Delhi’s borders had gone viral.
He was one of the six MPs from Delhi who has been denied the ticket for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections of 2024 by the BJP in a bid to represent fresh faces.
In 2023, during a debate in the Lok Sabha, Ramesh Bidhuri subjected me to a stream of derogatory and profane abuse on the floor of the House. I stood there, a duly elected Member of Parliament, listening as slurs and insults were hurled at me in full public view
