==Career==

Malhotra has had long active career in politics; Chief Executive Councillor of Delhi's Metropolitan Council (Chief Minister equivalent,1967), President of the [[Janata Party]], [[Delhi]] (1977) and [[BJP]], Delhi (1980–84). Along with Mr [[Kidar Nath Sahani]] and [[Madan Lal Khurana]], Malhotra was credited with keeping BJP afloat in Delhi for many years.

His biggest political victory was defeating the former Prime Minister of India [[Manmohan Singh]] in the [[1999 Lok Sabha elections]] by a huge margin. Malhotra has been a 5 time MP and 2 time MLA from [[Delhi]], over the past 45 years, making him one of BJP's senior most figures in the capital.

In the [[2004 Indian General Elections]], Malhotra was the only [[BJP]] candidate to win his seat in [[Delhi]], with the Congress winning the other 6 seats. Malhotra has enjoyed a spotless and clean image throughout his distinguished career, and even at the age of 82, despite not offered a post by the [[Narendra Modi]] government, he offered to become BJP's election campaign chairman for [[Delhi]] and led the party to a whitewash victory, securing all 7 seats.

Malhotra is also an educationist. He holds a Doctorate in Hindi Literature. Besides politics and social work, Malhotra is also involved with the administration of the chess and archery clubs in Delhi.

=== Sports Administration ===

Malhotra was the Senior Vice-President of the [[Indian Olympic Association]] and the acting President of the IOA since 26 April 2011, after [[Suresh Kalmadi]] was arrested by the [[Central Bureau of Investigation|CBI]] in connection with the alleged irregularities in awarding contracts for the 2010 Commonwealth Games.<ref>[http://www.indiatoday.intoday.in/site/story/ioa-sacks-suresh-kalmadi-malhotra-to-replace-him/1/136366.html IOA sacks Suresh Kalmadi, V K Malhotra named acting president]</ref>

He is also the President of the General Association of National Sports Federations and the President of the [[Archery Association of India]] since last 44 years. He was also associated with the organisation of the [[2010 Commonwealth Games]] held in New Delhi.

In October 2015, Malhotra was named as the Chairman of the [[All Indian Council Of Sports]] (AICS), and was given the rank of a minister of state.

=== Chief ministerial candidate ===

On 26 September 2008 the BJP announced that Malhotra would be party's chief ministerial candidate in the election to Delhi Assembly in 2008. [http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/StoryPage.aspx?sectionName=&id=258510bb-a15c-4351-866c-0cf222cb6685&&Headline=VK+Malhotra+is+BJP%e2%80%99s+CM+candidate&strParent=strParentID]{{dead link|date=August 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}

While Malhotra easily won his [[Greater Kailash (Delhi Assembly constituency)|Greater Kailash constituency]], the BJP failed to the dislodge the [[Sheila Dikshit]] government. Only days after election results were revealed, Malhotra was in attendance in the [[Lok Sabha]], fuelling speculation that he intends to continue in Parliament, instead of serving in the [[Delhi Legislative Assembly]]. However he resigned as [[Member of Parliament]] and retained his seat of an MLA in [[Delhi]] and would serve as Leader of opposition.
