Haryana continues to shine in Indian politics as Rekha Gupta, a first-time MLA, takes oath as the new Chief Minister of Delhi. Her victory has brought immense pride to her home state, with celebrations erupting in Nandgarh village (Jind), where she was born, and Bond Kalan (Charkhi Dadri), her in-laws’ village.
Following the Legacy of Sushma Swaraj and Arvind Kejriwal
Rekha Gupta follows the path of Sushma Swaraj and Arvind Kejriwal, two former Delhi Chief Ministers who also hailed from Haryana. Her leadership marks a significant milestone in Delhi’s political history.
BJP’s Strategic Victory in Delhi
The BJP government, led by CM Nayab Saini, celebrated Rekha’s appointment, seeing it as a successful extension of the Haryana governance model. In the Delhi Assembly elections, over 100 senior BJP leaders from Haryana worked tirelessly, promoting the party’s agenda of transparent governance with no corruption.
Viral Moment: A Symbol of Haryana’s Pride
After the election victory, a viral video of BJP leader OP Dhankar hugging Rekha Gupta and giving her ‘shagun’ symbolized Haryana’s deep connection with its rising leaders.
Stronger Delhi-Haryana Relations Under BJP Rule
With BJP now governing both Delhi and Haryana, long-standing inter-state issues are expected to be addressed. Key concerns such as:
- Pollution control – Ensuring clean Yamuna water supply from Haryana to Delhi.
- Infrastructure development – Improving connectivity between Haryana and Delhi NCR.
- Governance collaboration – Strengthening economic and administrative ties between the two states.
With a shared cultural bond and common aspirations, the people of Delhi and Haryana can look forward to a new era of progress and cooperation under Rekha Gupta’s leadership.
