**New Delhi** – Delhi’s newly appointed Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has wasted no time in implementing sweeping changes within 24 hours of taking office. Her administration has moved swiftly to terminate the services of personal staff employed by former Chief Ministers and Ministers, and reassigned all officials to their original departments. This decisive action signals a clear intention to tackle challenges head-on.

Further, a significant decision was made to implement the Ayushman Bharat scheme across the capital, upgrading all Mohalla Clinics and renaming them “Urban Ayushman Arogya Mandirs.” These actions demonstrate the BJP government’s commitment to fulfilling its election promises.
