After the formation of the Delhi Assembly, elections were held for the first time in 1993, in which the Bharatiya Janata Party had a landslide victory. However, the BJP had to change the Chief Minister three times in five years. Madan Lal Khurana lost his seat on charges of scam, Sahib Singh Verma resigned due to inflation, while Sushma Swaraj could remain the Chief Minister for only two months.
