Is Delhi about to witness a political transformation? The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has officially announced Rekha Gupta as the next Chief Minister of Delhi. This decision was made in a crucial meeting of newly elected BJP MLAs. She will take the oath of office on Thursday, February 20, marking a significant shift in Delhi’s political landscape.
What’s Happening at the Rekha Gupta Oath-Taking Ceremony?
The grand swearing-in ceremony is set to take place at the historic Ramlila Maidan in Delhi, beginning at 11 AM. The event will witness the presence of prominent leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and several senior BJP figures.
But why was Ramlila Maidan chosen for this landmark event? Interestingly, this iconic venue has deep historical significance—it was here that Jayaprakash Narayan led a massive protest in 1975 against Indira Gandhi’s government. Now, it sets the stage for another historic moment as the BJP returns to power in Delhi after 27 years.
Key Highlights of BJP’s Victory in Delhi
- Rekha Gupta will succeed Atishi of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), following BJP’s massive win in the recent assembly elections.
- The BJP secured a landslide victory, winning 48 out of 70 seats, ending AAP’s rule in the capital.
- Preparations at Ramlila Maidan are in full swing, with fresh paint, cleaning, and seating arrangements being finalized to accommodate nearly 30,000 attendees.
AAP’s Reaction to BJP’s Leadership Decision
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has criticized the BJP over the delay in selecting a Chief Minister, alleging that the party struggled to finalize a leader for the top post.
Does BJP’s return mark a new era for Delhi? Will Rekha Gupta’s leadership bring major changes to governance? As the city eagerly awaits the swearing-in ceremony, all eyes will be on how the new government takes charge and sets its agenda for the future.
