Rekha Gupta Sworn in as Delhi's First BJP Chief Minister in Nearly Three Decades

The new government pledges to tackle infrastructure, pollution, and welfare challenges while aligning power across Delhi's governance structures.

Rekha Gupta, a seasoned BJP leader, took oath as Delhi's Chief Minister alongside six cabinet ministers, marking BJP's return to power in the capital after 27 years.
The BJP's victory ends years of political gridlock between the AAP government and the Lieutenant Governor, with hopes for streamlined governance under unified control.
Key priorities for the new administration include improving Delhi's crumbling infrastructure, addressing severe air pollution, and cleaning up the polluted Yamuna River.
The government has committed to fulfilling welfare promises, including financial aid for women, subsidized LPG cylinders, and the implementation of the Ayushman Bharat Yojana healthcare scheme.
Gupta emphasized her administration's focus on delivering development and good governance, aligning with Prime Minister Modi's vision for a 'Viksit Delhi.'
