**New Delhi, February 20** – Rekha Gupta, the BJP candidate from Shalimar Bagh, was sworn in as Delhi’s Chief Minister today, defeating several high-profile contenders within her party. Gupta’s victory has ignited a whirlwind of activity on social media, with numerous memes celebrating her unexpected rise to power after a 27-year absence of BJP leadership in the capital.
One particularly viral meme draws a parallel between Gupta and Bollywood actresses, using the names Hema Malini, Rekha, Jaya Bachchan, and Sushma Swaraj in a jingle reminiscent of a popular detergent advertisement. The post, which garnered over 72,000 views, highlights the widespread public interest in Gupta’s appointment.
Other popular memes feature characters from the animated film *Penguins of Madagascar*, drawing connections to recent controversies involving YouTubers Ranveer Allahbadia and Samay Raina. The memes reflect the diverse and often humorous reactions to the political shift in Delhi.
The new Chief Minister’s past tweets have also resurfaced, including one referencing Arvind Kejriwal, highlighting the ongoing public discussion surrounding her leadership. Gupta secured her victory in the 2025 Delhi Assembly Election, defeating AAP’s Bandana Kumari by a significant margin of 29,595 votes. Her ascension to the Chief Ministership marks a significant turning point in Delhi’s political landscape.
