Message to the Women Voters from the Chief Minister-Designate of Delhi
Rekha Gupta Takes Oath as Delhi’s Chief Minister
New Delhi: Rekha Gupta, the newly elected Chief Minister of Delhi, has pledged to prioritize women’s issues during her tenure. In a recent statement, Ms. Gupta assured women that their fight for rights will be acknowledged and fulfilled under her leadership.
Women’s Empowerment at the Forefront
Leading up to the Delhi assembly elections, women were at the center of the BJP’s campaign strategy. The party made several promises to empower women, including providing Rs 2,500 monthly aid, financial assistance for pregnant women, affordable LPG cylinders, and pension benefits for senior citizens. These initiatives aim to uplift and support women across the capital city.
Gratitude to Prime Minister Modi and Party Leadership
Expressing her gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP leadership, and the people of Delhi, Rekha Gupta emphasized her commitment to fulfilling her responsibilities. She acknowledged the trust placed in her and stated that every moment of her life will be dedicated to serving the people of Delhi.
Oath-Taking Ceremony and Future Plans
Rekha Gupta, who secured victory from Shalimar Bagh constituency, will be sworn in as the Chief Minister at a grand ceremony at the Ramlila ground. The event is expected to be attended by top leaders, including Prime Minister Modi and other NDA-ruled state chief ministers. As the Leader of the House in the Delhi Assembly, Ms. Gupta is prepared to lead the state government with integrity and dedication.
Cabinet Representation and Governance
Following her appointment as Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta met with Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena to stake a claim to form the government. While there is no confirmation of a deputy chief minister, the BJP is committed to ensuring representation for all communities in the cabinet. Delhi’s government can have up to seven ministers, including the Chief Minister.
Historic Mandate for BJP
The BJP’s landslide victory in the Delhi assembly elections, winning 48 seats, marked a historic mandate that ousted the Aam Aadmi Party from power. With the Congress failing to secure any seats, Rekha Gupta’s appointment as Chief Minister signifies a new chapter in Delhi’s political landscape.
As the fourth BJP Chief Minister in Delhi’s history, Rekha Gupta is poised to lead the state with a focus on women’s empowerment and inclusive governance. Her commitment to fulfilling party promises and serving the people of Delhi sets a positive tone for her tenure as Chief Minister.
