Rekha Gupta has assumed the role of Delhi's Chief Minister, marking a historic moment as the first female leader of the capital's government in over 26 years. Gupta, a first-time MLA from Shalimar Bagh, ushers a new era for the BJP in Delhi after a considerable absence from power.

Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit extended his congratulations to Gupta, expressing hope that the BJP would honor its ambitious agenda and welfare promises made during the campaign. The selection process of Gupta mirrors a broader strategy observed in BJP's appointments across various states.
