Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta took part in the `100 Din Seva Ke` event, marking 100 days since the BJP government assumed office in the capital. During the program, she strongly criticised her predecessor, accusing them of `false claims` to be common people who became greedy for power, while her government was working on the streets among the people, reported ANI.
“When the movement started from Ramlila Maidan, thousands and lakhs of people joined it, I joined too, others also joined. Everyone supported it, thinking something better would happen in Delhi and the country. Those people who used to say that they are not greedy for power became so greedy that they could not see anything except power. My cabinet, our MLAs, and all the public representatives continuously work on the streets among the people.”
Gupta also denounced the previous AAP administration for undermining the credibility of the Indian Armed Forces.
Speaking with actor Anupam Kher, she said, “I feel very sad when I think about those people who used to sit in the chair (of Chief Minister) and raised questions on the Indian Armed Forces and used to join hands with the enemies of the nation. Operation Sindoor increased the respect for women. I thank PM Modi for that. All the women of the nation salute the armed forces for destroying the terrorist sites in enemy territory.”
She further stated that the courage demonstrated by the armed forces during Operation Sindoor uplifted the morale and pride of Indian women. “Together we bow down to those who have shown bravery in the Operation Sindoor,” she said.
During the program, the Chief Minister also recited a poem titled ‘I Am Sindoor Too’. “I am patient in silence, I am brave in challenge. Yes, I am Sindoor too, I am the slaughterer of terrorists, I am the limit of courage, I am Jeevan Daatri, I am Sahar`s Sakshi, I am Vermilion. I am the gift of every daughter-in-law. I am India`s tomorrow, and today I am Hindustani modesty, yes, I am Sindoor.”
When asked by Anupam Kher about her affection for the capital, Gupta expressed her admiration for Delhi’s cultural harmony. “What I like best about Delhi is unity. This is the form of Ek Mini India, Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat,” she said.
She elaborated on Delhi’s inclusive spirit, noting that people from every corner of the country reside in the city and celebrate each other`s festivals. “Today, if we all celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi of Maharashtra, we also play Garba of Gujarat enthusiastically. When you celebrate the `Teej` of Haryana, `Chhath Puja` of Bihar is also celebrated with great ceremony,” she added.
Gupta concluded by revealing the first initiative of her administration. “We will celebrate the State Day of every state here and the government will always stand in the happiness and sorrow of every state.”
