In 1952, 34-year-old Brahma Prakash Chaudhary became the first Chief Minister of Delhi

New Delhi, 9th February, Monday

Many consider the first assembly to be formed in Delhi on December 3 and consider Madan Lal Khurana the first chief minister of the BJP, but Brahma Prakash Chaudhary holds the honor of becoming the first chief minister of Delhi five years after independence. Brahma Prakash remained the Chief Minister of Delhi from March 7 to February 3, after getting the first majority of the Delhi Assembly elections in the 5th.

In 1, the Delhi Assembly was dissolved and the Union Territory was formed. In the 5th, the status of Municipal Corporation was given to Delhi. In the 5th, the constitution of Delhi was declared as the national capital area. As per the amendment of the Constitution to the Constitution of the 7th, Delhi was given a 5-member assembly in which 3 seats were reserved and according to the new delimitation the assembly constituencies were rejected.

The then Prime Minister, Nehru, sat on a Delhi chair

Brahma Prakash, who took part in the Quit India Movement in the 8th, was elected from the Nangloi seat in the sub-area of ​​Delhi. Congress MLAs chose Lala Deshbandhu Gupta as the Chief Minister, not Brahma Prakash. Lala Deshbandhu became the Chief Minister of Delhi at the age of just 8 when he died before taking oath as the Chief Minister. Brahmaprakash was not considered a gigantic leader in Delhi politics at that time. Although he was inclined towards the Socialist Party, not the Congress, PM Jawaharlal Nehru played a major role in the Chief Minister's seat.

Chief Minister Brahmin Prakash traveled like a normal person on a bus

Delhi was not such a densely populated and polluted city in the 8th, yet people faced various problems ranging from electricity, water to water. Brahmin Prakash was traveling on a bus, not just in a car, to know and solve people's problems. He loved to talk on the go, to give more people more time. The Brahma Prakash used to pass like the ordinary man of Security Guard V on the road to Connaught Place. Although he was chief minister, he used to take time out and read in the library.

At that time, hundreds of refugees came from across the border in Delhi. Delhi's demography was changing but Brahmaprakas served a lot of refugees suffering from Pakistan. He was removed from the post of Chief Minister in the sixty-third of power and made Jinn Singh the Chief Minister. He had been a member of the Lok Sabha four times in the light of his political career, but his simplicity and simplicity never left.

There was no home to stay in Delhi when the CM left office

While today's politicians do not enjoy the charm of government cars and bungalows, Brahma Prakash did not even have his own home in Delhi. Born in Nairobi, Brahma Prakash came to Delhi with his parents when he was 3 years old. On August 4, the Government of India issued a postal stamp in memory of Brahma Prakash Chowdhury.

Due to Chaudhary's surname, people consider him a Jat community but he was a Yadav of UP. After staying in the Congress party for a long time, he joined the anti-Congress Lok Sabha in the post-crisis Lok Sabha polls in Brahma Prasad 1. After the fall of Prime Minister Morarji Desai's government, Charan Singh Chowdhury had also served as Cabinet Minister for Food, Agriculture and Irrigation.
