NDA leaders congratulate Rekha Gupta on taking oath as Delhi CM
New Delhi: Rekha Gupta was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Delhi on Thursday, and many union ministers and leaders of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) congratulated her, emphasizing how the national capital has made it possible for women to be empowered.
Union Minister Harsh Malhotra told the media report that the BJP would try to assist the people of Delhi and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made it possible for women to have leadership roles.
“PM Narendra Modi has enabled women empowerment in Delhi… Our government will work for the people of Delhi, considering the gravity of the mandate that they have given to the BJP in Delhi elections,” he said.
Referring to the new chief minister, BJP leader Tarun Chugh described it as a “historic occasion” that a “normal worker” of the party was given the chance to rule.
“This is a historic occasion…People in large numbers witnessed the swearing-in ceremony…A normal worker of the party has been given the responsibility to govern Delhi…Delhi will play a major role in fulfilling PM Modi’s resolve of ‘Viksit Bharat’,” Chugh told ANI, adding that the city would aid in achieving the vision of “Viksit Bharat.”
