Former Union Minister and veteran BJP leader, Harsh Vardhan, has announced his retirement from politics following his exclusion from the BJP's first list of Lok Sabha election candidates. The 69-year-old politician, known for his contributions to the health sector, expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party workers while reflecting on his illustrious electoral career spanning over three decades. Vardhan, who won all five assembly and two parliamentary elections he contested, stated his intention to return to the medical profession. The BJP's decision to drop Vardhan, along with three other sitting MPs from Delhi, marks a significant shakeup in the party's strategy for the upcoming elections. Vardhan, emphasizing his commitment to addressing issues like poverty, disease, and ignorance, highlighted his key roles as Delhi Health Minister and Union Health Minister, particularly in leading efforts to eradicate polio and manage the COVID-19 pandemic. The BJP's first candidate list showcases a significant turnover, with 33 sitting MPs being replaced by fresh faces across various constituencies.
