During her first thirty days as Delhi’s Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta declared her commitment to reconstruct the entire capital infrastructure, which had fallen to “level zero.” Her address targeted the Aam Aadmi Party’s’s (AAP) previous government’s management deficiencies by committing to building ‘Viksit Delhi’ during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
Delhi requires an infrastructure platform starting from basic level zero because of its critical city-wide deficiencies. The Chief Minister’s Office posted on social media that people of Delhi suffered from a lack of basic services due to persistent inadequate maintenance throughout many years. Gupta underscored that her government is dedicated to transforming the capital while implementing schemes to enhance sanitation and public service quality as well as street cleanliness.
The major problems that afflict Delhi, such as garbage rifes, inadequate sanitation, and worsened pollution, received attention in her speech. During her address, the cleaning of the Yamuna River emerged as a crucial challenge because efforts to purify this waterway have failed year after year despite ongoing promises and initiatives.

Action-Oriented Governance: CM Gupta’s Initiatives in Her First Month
CM Rekha Gupta started to execute multiple essential plans for tackling Delhi’s infrastructure problems right after a month of taking office. She inspected different hospitals to examine healthcare delivery systems within the urban area for development purposes.
She started a waste management reform, which includes developing the Bhalswa landfill site into a bamboo forest. The government spearheads drainage projects in South Delhi, where personnel actively perform major drain desilting to stop monsoon waterlogging.
She demands Asha Kiran shelter home residents should benefit from better infrastructure at that facility. She moves forward with conviction since she disagrees with the slow-moving bureaucratic process from past administrations.
A 100-Day Plan for Revamping Delhi
One of the key takeaways from CM Gupta’s leadership is the introduction of a 100-day action plan that focuses on:
- Cleaning the Yamuna River and developing its riverfront
- Addressing sanitation and waste disposal issues
- Introducing the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) in Delhi
- Presenting pending CAG reports in the Assembly to ensure financial transparency
This ambitious plan sets the foundation for long-term infrastructural and governance improvements in the capital.

Accountability and Transparency: A Tough Stand on Corruption
CM Gupta did not shy away from addressing alleged financial irregularities under the previous government. She asserted that former CM Arvind Kejriwal and his administration would be held accountable for any misappropriation of public funds. Her cabinet has already set the wheels in motion to investigate past corruption cases, ensuring that governance remains transparent and accountable.
The Road Ahead: Collective Effort for a Better Delhi
Acknowledging that government efforts alone are insufficient, CM Gupta urged citizens to actively participate in the city’s transformation. She emphasized that a ‘Viksit Delhi’ can only be achieved through collaborative governance, community involvement, and swift decision-making.
In a poetic flourish during her speech, she remarked, “There will be no delay in decision-making due to lack of intent, and nobody will benefit if all start focusing on their personal interests.”
As Delhi embarks on this journey of infrastructural revival, all eyes are on CM Rekha Gupta’s administration to deliver on its promises and redefine the capital’s urban landscape.
