Focused policy and transparent decision-making: Delhi CM Rekha Gupta on BJP Govt’s nearly one year in office Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said her adminstration has focused on correcting long-pending structural issues in pollution control, public transport, waste management, healthcare and education since the formation of the BJP government in the national capital after a long 27 years.In an interview with ANI, the Delhi CM asserted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led administration prioritised policy decisions and accountability after forming government on February 20, 2025. “We did our best to develop policies for the city of Delhi. The work that was stuck, hanging, or wandering until now has been addressed. And somewhere or another, the problems of the residents of Delhi, their hopes, their aspirations, were addressed,” the Chief Minister said. She added, “We worked together to bring the government into operation, and hold officials accountable, not just stories…we have to run this government and solve the problems of Delhi.” The Delhi CM said several flagship schemes were implemented from the first day of assuming office, including the Ayushman Bharat health insurance scheme, providing coverage of up to Rs 10 lakh and the Vandan Yojana. “Many plans were made from the very first day when we took the oath on February 20, 2025. From that very day, we implemented the Ayushman Yojana in which we gave health cover of 10 lakhs to the people of Delhi. We implemented the Vaya Vandan Yojana on the same day,” the Delhi CM told ANI. The BJP leader said that the way the problems of Delhi should have been solved, the previous governments did not do that at all. She said multiple projects that had remained stalled under previous governments were taken up on priority.The Delhi CM said that, “Currently operates around 3,600 buses, and the government added nearly 1,700 buses in the past year. She said the total fleet is expected to reach 7,700 buses by the end of 2026, with a long-term target of 11,000 buses by 2028, most of them electric.She added that funding was sanctioned for metro expansion and last-mile connectivity projects, including e-bikes and EV autos.Responding to a question on her “first priority” after assuming the office, the Delhi CM told that her government treated policy correction and groundwork across sectors as the top priority, with a special focus on pollution.”In the first year, my priority was to make decisions across all sectors. The targets had to be identified, policies had to be framed, tenders had to be issued so that work could actually begin,” she said. The Delhi CM said the government’s first year focused on “policy drafting” and “transparent decision-making,” adding that a detailed report card would be presented to the public.
