Rekha Gupta's appointment as the Chief Minister of Delhi on February 20, 2025, was influenced by several key factors. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a decisive victory in the 2025 Delhi Legislative Assembly elections, winning 48 out of 70 seats, which ended the party’s 27-year absence from power in the capital. Gupta's political experience played a major role in her selection. She has served as the President of the Delhi University Students' Union in 1996, a three-time municipal councillor, and the mayor of the South Delhi Municipal Corporation. She won the Shalimar Bagh constituency with a significant margin, reflecting her strong grassroots support. Gupta has been vocal about addressing major urban issues such as air and river pollution, infrastructure development, and public service improvements, aligning her agenda with the city's pressing needs. Additionally, her advocacy for women’s and children’s welfare, particularly for underprivileged female students, strengthened her leadership credentials. The BJP leadership considered these factors while electing her as the party’s legislative head in Delhi. As Chief Minister, she is expected to focus on governance reforms, sustainable urban development, and strengthening Delhi’s public infrastructure.
