Rekha Gupta Rebukes AAP Over Meme Attacks in Assembly, Highlights EV and Welfare Plans

The chief minister cast the ridicule as a gendered campaign against a woman leading Delhi.

Overview

  • Concluding the Motion of Thanks debate, Gupta said AAP had weaponized her inadvertent verbal slips through a sustained wave of memes and personal mockery, and she grew emotional during her remarks.
  • She argued that critics are unwilling to accept a woman as chief minister, a framing AAP leader Saurabh Bhardwaj rejected as a failed attempt to play the "woman card."
  • Gupta accused AAP leaders of using disrespectful language about Sikh Gurus, referencing remarks attributed to Atishi, and warned that her government would not tolerate such disrespect.
  • Contrasting 11 months of BJP rule with AAP’s 11 years, she alleged deliberate corruption and hypocrisy, including leaders availing official cars and bungalows despite earlier promises.
  • She promoted her government’s agenda with a push to convert public transport to 100 percent EV, a plan for free travel for women via pink cards, and the rollout of 100 Atal Canteens with 45 already opened.
