In a significant political development, BJP MLA and Chief Minister-designate Rekha Gupta<\/strong> met with Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena<\/strong> on Wednesday evening, formally staking her claim to form the government in the national capital. Gupta was accompanied by BJP state observers Ravi Shankar Prasad<\/strong> and OP Dhankar<\/strong>, along with city BJP president Virendra Sachdeva<\/strong> and Delhi MPs, including Bansuri Swaraj<\/strong>, Praveen Khandelwal<\/strong>, and Kamaljeet Sehrawat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Leader of the House<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The following day, Rekha Gupta<\/strong> was chosen as the Leader of the House<\/strong> in the Delhi Assembly during a meeting of the BJP legislature party<\/strong>. This decision cements her position as the new face of the BJP-led government in Delhi.<\/p>\n

A Historic First for Women<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At 50, Gupta<\/strong> is set to become the fourth woman Chief Minister of Delhi<\/strong>. She follows in the footsteps of Sushma Swaraj<\/strong>, Sheila Dikshit<\/strong>, and Atishi<\/strong>. A former Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) president<\/strong> and civic body councilor<\/strong>, Gupta is poised to make history as Delhi\u2019s first woman BJP Chief Minister.<\/p>\n

Swearing-In Ceremony at Ramlila Maidan<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The swearing-in ceremony for the new BJP government<\/strong>, led by Gupta, is set to take place on Thursday afternoon<\/strong> at the iconic Ramlila Maidan<\/strong>, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi<\/strong> and other dignitaries will be present. This ceremony will mark a new chapter in Delhi’s political landscape.<\/p>\n

BJP\u2019s Historic Victory<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Gupta\u2019s leadership comes after the BJP<\/strong> secured a decisive win in the recently concluded 70-member Delhi Assembly elections<\/strong>. The party claimed 48 seats<\/strong>, effectively ending the Aam Aadmi Party\u2019s (AAP)<\/strong> decade-long rule in the capital. Gupta will also become the fourth Chief Minister from the BJP<\/strong> in Delhi, following in the footsteps of Madan Lal Khurana<\/strong>, Sahib Singh Verma<\/strong>, and Sushma Swaraj<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Notably, Gupta will be the only incumbent woman Chief Minister<\/strong> in any BJP-ruled state. Her leadership signals a significant shift in Delhi\u2019s political dynamics and the BJP\u2019s growing influence in the national capital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
