New Delhi (20.02.2025): Shalimar Bagh MLA Rekha Gupta has sworn in as the next Chief Minister of Delhi on February 20, 2025 at Ramlila Maidan along with six other ministers. The six other ministers included New Delhi MLA Parvesh Sahib Singh, Janak Puri MLA Ashish Sood, Rajauri Garden MLA Manjinder Singh Sirsa, Bawana (SC) MLA Ravindra Singh (Indraraj), Karawal Nagar MLA Kapil Mishra and Vikaspuri MLA Dr Pankaj Kumar Singh.
Vijender Gupta is likely to be appointed as Assembly Speaker while Mohan Singh Bisht as Deputy Speaker of the house. A huge crowd has witnessed the swearing in ceremony of the Delhi Chief in the Presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, other senior leaders of the party including chief ministers of the BJP-ruled states. 
The name of Rekha Gupta was announced by the BJP around 11 days after results of Delhi Assembly elections were declared. What are the points that have gone in her favour to be chosen for the coveted job:
  1. Being a woman is the first criterion that has gone in her favour
  2. She is a committed AVBP/RSS/BJP worker
  3. Experience of working in the city as councillor will be an advantage
  4. She will have advantage of being woman to deal with political party like AAP 
  5. Her appointment will serve twin purpose of being woman and person from committed Vaishya community
  6. This combination will help the party across the country
  7. It will help BJP to win back some of its Vaishya voters that it lost to AAP for Kejriwal being from the same community
  8. It will help the BJP in other state elections across the country for a woman at the helm in Delhi
  9. Rekha Gupta has the support of the top leadership of the BJP and the RSS
  10. At 50, she is quite young leader as the Delhi CM to send across message among youth
