Fri Feb 21 10:17:14 UTC 2025: ## BJP’s Gupta Assumes Delhi Chief Ministership, Promises Swift Action
**New Delhi, February 21, 2025** – Rekha Gupta, of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), was sworn in as Delhi’s Chief Minister on Thursday, marking the party’s return to power after a 26-year absence. In her first address on Friday, she accused both the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of neglecting the needs of Delhi’s citizens, claiming they only made empty promises.
Gupta highlighted the BJP’s immediate action by passing the Ayushman Bharat health insurance scheme in their first cabinet meeting – a scheme she alleged the AAP had stalled for years. She further asserted that the opposition’s concerns stemmed from fear of the BJP’s commitment to transparency and accountability, promising to reveal past misdeeds.
The new Chief Minister emphasized her government’s dedication to fulfilling all campaign promises, citing a visit to the Yamuna Ghat on their first day in office as evidence of their commitment to action. She also dismissed the opposition’s criticisms, suggesting internal strife within both the Congress and AAP was fueling their concerns.
