CM-designate Rekha Gupta, who represents the Shalimar Bagh constituency, conveyed her appreciation to Prime Minister Modi and the party leadership for their trust in her, stating, "I will meet his expectations."
Upon her appointment as the new Chief Minister of Delhi by the BJP, Gupta remarked, "I want to express my gratitude to the party high command, PM Modi, and the citizens of Delhi for their support and selection. A transformative era is on the horizon for Delhi, marking the dawn of its golden age... My primary goal is to realize PM Modi's vision and the commitments we've made to the populace..."
"PM Narendra Modi has placed tremendous trust in an ordinary party worker and daughter like me. I aim to fulfill his expectations. I am thankful to the party leadership and PM Modi for believing in a common individual like myself and assigning me such a significant role... My journey can be an inspiration for every woman, showing that a regular middle-class woman can reach the pinnacle of party leadership," Gupta expressed after arriving at her Shalimar Bagh residence.
She previously thanked the people of Delhi for their support and stated that a golden era for the city is imminent.
Rekha Gupta will be the fourth female Chief Minister of Delhi, upholding a tradition that has been challenging for many other states to emulate.
