Fri Feb 21 23:12:26 UTC 2025: ## Delhi’s New CM Gupta Begins Term with Focus on Accountability and Welfare

**New Delhi, February 21, 2025** – Delhi’s newly sworn-in Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has launched her administration with a focus on transparency and public welfare. After meeting with President Droupadi Murmu and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar at Rashtrapati Bhavan, Gupta announced a 100-day plan prioritizing projects including Yamuna river cleaning and development, and the implementation of the Ayushman Bharat health scheme.

Gupta, the sole female Chief Minister among BJP-ruled states, stated she is reviewing all government departments and preparing plans for welfare schemes. She also pledged to hold the previous AAP government accountable for any misuse of public funds. This follows comments from Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva, who highlighted the contrast between the BJP’s self-funded swearing-in ceremony and the alleged extravagant spending by the previous AAP government on self-promotion.

The new administration’s commitment to transparency is a key element of Gupta’s early initiatives. She emphasized a focus on delivering on promises made to the people of Delhi, and the prompt tabling of pending CAG reports in the Assembly. Further details regarding the 100-day plan are expected to be released shortly.
