‘5 goals in 100 days’

After being sworn in as Delhi Chief Minister on Thursday (Feb 20), Rekha Gupta has planned to tackle five major issues within the first 100 days to show “visible results” to the people of Delhi.

In her 100-day action plan, Gupta's agenda includes rolling out the Ayushman Bharat medical insurance scheme in Delhi, a long-pending demand aimed at improving access to healthcare for the underprivileged.

Her government will focus on cleaning the Yamuna River, prioritising the de-silting of roads and sewers, launching a massive citywide cleanliness drive, and repairing and maintaining roads.

A first-time MLA, Gupta contested the Shalimar Bagh constituency in the Delhi assembly elections against AAP's Bandana Kumari and won by 29,595 votes, marking the end of AAP’s decade-long hold on the seat.
