In a move seen as a breakthrough for women in Indian politics, BJP leader Rekha Gupta has been named the Chief Minister-designate for Delhi. Gupta described her selection as a 'miracle' and a 'new chapter' for women's empowerment. She has committed to holding those involved in corrupt practices accountable for their actions.

Expressing gratitude to the BJP's high command, especially Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gupta emphasized the formidable responsibility she faces. 'It is a huge responsibility,' she affirmed, vowing to meet her obligations with 'utmost honesty.' Gupta aims to fulfill all party commitments and unite all 48 BJP MLAs into a strong team.

Her leadership is expected to focus on initiatives for marginalized communities and women.
