Rekha Gupta is currently serving as the 9th Chief Minister of Delhi, the capital of the country. Her tenure marks a historic moment, as it signifies the Bharatiya Janata Party’s return to power in the national capital after nearly three decades. Her elevation to this position represents the culmination of more than three decades of unwavering commitment to public service and dedicated political engagement at the grassroots, municipal, and state levels.
As Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta’s governance philosophy is closely aligned with the collective vision of Team Modi and is driven by a clear mission to make Delhi healthier, better educated, and more equitable. She firmly believes that the city must receive the rights, opportunities, and development it has long been denied. Her approach to leadership is rooted in tireless work, honesty in intent, and focus on tangible outcomes, reflecting her conviction that real development is achieved through consistent action on the ground rather than rhetoric or empty promises.
On the birth anniversary of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi dedicated the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway to the nation, with Delhi Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta joining virtually and describing the ₹12,000 crore project as a landmark milestone in Delhi's development and a true confluence of modern infrastructure with the spiritual ethos of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand. CM Rekha Gupta highlighted that projects worth nearly ₹1.25 lakh crore are currently underway in Delhi under the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, reshaping the capital's urban landscape. She noted that India's expressway network has expanded to over 3,000 km while the national highway network has grown from 51,000 km to nearly 1,46,000 km — a testament to the country's accelerated infrastructure growth under PM Modi's leadership. Emphasising the strength of double-engine governance, CM Rekha Gupta said better coordination between the Centre and Delhi government is driving faster progress across education, healthcare and infrastructure. She also highlighted the proposed ₹5,000 crore elevated road along the Munak canal to ease traffic congestion, expressing confidence that Delhi is well-positioned to achieve new milestones in urban transformation in line with PM Modi's vision of 'Viksit Bharat 2047'.
