BJP’s Rekha Gupta to take oath as Delhi CM today at Ramlila Maidan
New Delhi, Feb 20: To mark the beginning of the BJP’s governance in the national capital, preparations are in full swing for the grand oath-taking ceremony of the new Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday.
The grand event will take place at the Ramlila Maidan and a large number of people are expected to participate.
The swearing-in ceremony will be a high-profile event, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Union Cabinet, and Chief Ministers from various states in attendance.
Delhi CM-desingate Rekha Gupta, an elected MLA from Shalimar Bagh seat, expressed her gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party leadership for placing their faith in her, saying that “I will stand up to his expectations”.
On being chosen as the new Chief Minister of Delhi by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), CM-designate Rekha Gupta said, “I want to thank the party high command, PM Modi, and the people of Delhi for supporting me and choosing me. A huge change is going to come in Delhi, the golden period of the city is going to come… Fulfilling PM Modi’s vision and the commitment that we have made to the people is my goal and priority…”
“PM Narendra Modi has shown immense faith in an ordinary party worker and daughter like me. I will stand up to his expectations. I want to thank the party leadership and PM Narendra Modi who showed immense faith in a commoner like me and bestowed such a big responsibility on me… My story can be an inspiration for every woman, that a common middle-class woman can also be given a chance to reach the top leadership of the party…,” Gupta said after reaching her Shalimar Bagh residence.
She earlier thanked the people of Delhi for supporting and choosing her and said that the golden period of the city is going to come.
Rekha Gupta will be the fourth woman Chief Minister of Delhi, continuing a tradition that has been difficult for other parts of the country to match.

BJP workers and supporters celebrated the party’s return to power in the capital.
Rekha Gupta’s husband, Manish Gupta, and her supporters, also celebrated the announcement about her being the next Chief Minister
In Delhi Assembly elections, BJP secured 48 seats out of 70 seats, while the outgoing Aam Aadmi Party won 22 seats. For the third successive time, Congress could not open its account.

New Delhi, Oct 3: The Delhi Police registered at least three FIRs in connection with protests held in the national Capital demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, officials said.
Two of the FIRs were registered at the Parliament Street Police Station, while another case was registered at the Connaught Place Police Station, according to officials.
They added that the cases have been registered under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which pertains to disobedience of an order duly promulgated by a public servant.
No individual or organisation has been specifically named as an accused in any of the FIRs, officials said. However, they added that the details of the organisers as well as organisations that had proposed or participated in the demonstrations have been included in the contents of the cases.
The FIRs were registered following a day of protests across central Delhi, where Opposition activists, students and members of youth organisations attempted to march towards Jantar Mantar to raise their demands.
Police detained over 1,000 protesters as they tried to cross barricades and make their way towards the designated protest site, according to officials. Those detained from the streets were taken away in buses arranged by the Delhi Police and transported to different police stations across the city.
Among those detained were former Delhi Chief Minister and senior Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi, AISA president Neha Bora and Swaraj India leader Yogendra Yadav. The detainees also included several AAP leaders, civil society activists, members of Left-backed student organisations and workers associated with the Congress’ youth wing.
The protests were organised amid demands for accountability over alleged irregularities in the SIR exercise and calls for the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar.
The Delhi Police had earlier said that permission had not been granted for the proposed demonstration at Jantar Mantar and had put extensive security arrangements in place across central Delhi.
