Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta celebrated Raksha Bandhan today with children from primary schools run by the Delhi Government, the Central Government, and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. The celebration, held at the Chief Minister’s Seva Sadan, was filled with warmth and joy as children tied rakhis on the Chief Minister’s wrist, expressing their affection and good wishes. In return, the Chief Minister gave them gifts, encouraging their spirit and participation.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that Raksha Bandhan is a symbol of the sacred bond and unshakeable trust between brothers and sisters. “This festival reminds us of our duty to protect our values, families, and society. It is my first Raksha Bandhan as Chief Minister of Delhi, and I am truly delighted to celebrate it in the company of children,” she said.
She added that this emotional bond also brings with it a greater responsibility—the responsibility of building a capital city that is safe, clean, green, and truly Viksit (developed). She reaffirmed her government’s commitment to working tirelessly towards this vision.
Extending her heartfelt greetings to the people of Delhi, the Chief Minister said, “I pray for the happiness and strength of every sister, and wish success, growth, and a sense of purpose for every brother. Our dream is to build a society where every sister is respected, and every brother embraces his responsibilities.”
