Rekha Gupta, 50, was chosen the leader of the House in Delhi Assembly on Wednesday. She is set to become the fourth woman chief minister of Delhi after Sushma Swaraj, Sheila Dikshit and Atishi.

In a post on X in Hindi, Gupta thanked the BJP leadership for reposing trust in her. \”I pledge to work with full honesty, integrity, and dedication for the welfare, empowerment, and overall development of every citizen of Delhi. I am fully committed to this important opportunity to take Delhi to new heights,\” she wrote.
