Delhi’s newly sworn-in Chief Minister Rekha Gupta performed Yamuna aarti at Vasudev Ghat with BJP leaders, including Baijayant Jay Panda and Parvesh Sahib Singh. Hours later, she chaired her first Cabinet meeting at the Delhi secretariat. The Yamuna issue was central in Delhi’s election campaign, with BJP and AAP trading accusations over pollution levels. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also highlighted Yamuna in his victory speech. Rekha Gupta, a first-time MLA from Shalimar Bagh, is Delhi’s fourth woman CM, marking BJP’s return to power in the capital after 27 years.
