NEW DELHI: Delhi witnessed jubilant scenes outside Rekha Gupta’s residence on Wednesday evening after reports emerged that the BJP MLA-elect will be the next chief minister of the national capital. Supporters gathered in large numbers, waving party flags, bursting crackers, and chanting slogans as they celebrated the party’s return to power in Delhi after 27 years.
Visuals from the scene showed BJP workers distributing sweets and dancing in anticipation of the official announcement. Gupta, who secured a decisive victory from Shalimar Bagh, has been formally named as the Leader of the House during the BJP legislature party meeting later in the evening.
With the swearing-in ceremony scheduled for Thursday at Ramlila Maidan, excitement is building among BJP cadres. The event is expected to witness the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, senior BJP leaders, and chief ministers from NDA-ruled states.
