Ahead of her swearing-in as Delhi Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta asserted that those involved in corruption over the past 12 years would be held accountable.
“For the past 12 years, AAP has ruled Delhi, and the issues of corruption are on their shoulders. They will have to account for every rupee of the public. Anyone who indulged in corruption will have to give an account of every rupee,” Gupta told the media outside her residence in Shalimar Bagh.
She described her new role as a ‘new motivation and a new chapter for her’.
As Rekha Gupta takes charge as Delhi’s Chief Minister, six ministers will join her cabinet.
President Droupadi Murmu has appointed the CM and her cabinet, with a gazette notification from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs confirming the appointments.
The notification signed by Joint Secretary Praveen Kumar Rai reads, “The President is pleased to appoint Mrs. Rekha Gupta as the Chief Minister, National Capital Territory of Delhi with effect from the date she is sworn in.”
The six MLAs set to take oath as ministers include:
- Parvesh Sahib Singh,
- Ashish Sood,
- Manjinder Singh Sirsa,
- Ravinder Indraj Singh,
- Kapil Mishra, and
- Pankaj Kumar Singh
The swearing-in ceremony will take place at Ramlila Maidan, with a large public turnout expected.
The event will see the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Union Cabinet, and Chief Ministers from various states.
