Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta today returned to her trademark spirited form. After two days of recovery from shock, she once again joined public programmes, making it clear that she would neither fear, nor tire, nor surrender. Her first announcement of the day was that East Delhi would be placed at the forefront of the capital’s development. For the past six months, the Chief Minister has been working tirelessly and with determination on her mission of building a ‘Developed Delhi’.
Participating in a special programme at Gandhi Nagar, East Delhi, the Chief Minister appeared fully healthy and composed, according to the CM’s Office. Addressing the gathering, she assured the people of Delhi that their Chief Minister will neither fear, nor tire, nor falter. She firmly declared that until Delhi secures its rightful entitlements, she will continue her struggle.
She emphasised that unrelenting perseverance is her life-force, and she will remain unwavering in this pledge. The CM’s Office confirmed that Rekha Gupta has fully resumed her efforts to address the concerns and development of Delhi, with her daily work continuing as before.
On Wednesday morning, a young man attempted a fatal attack on Rekha Gupta at the Chief Minister Janseva Sadan. Doctors kept her under observation and advised a few days of rest to restore her energy and help her recover from the incident. However, on the very evening of the attack, the Chief Minister declared, “Such assaults can never break my resolve or weaken my commitment to public service. I will now be among the people with even greater energy and dedication. Public hearings and solutions to citizens’ issues will continue with the same seriousness and commitment as before. Your trust and support are my greatest strength.”
Although doctors once again advised two to four more days of rest on Thursday evening, the Chief Minister declined, stating that such attacks could never deter her from her pledge of a ‘Developed Delhi’. She announced that from Friday onwards she would devote herself fully to public service. In fact, she had already resumed working from home. That same evening, she reiterated her resolve in a tweet, “I can never stop fighting for the interests of Delhi’s people. Every moment of my life and every particle of my being belongs to Delhi. Despite these unforeseen assaults, I will never abandon Delhi. Women, after all, have double the strength to withstand adversity. To prove themselves, they must undergo countless trials. I too am ready. From now on, public hearings will be held not only at my residence but in every Assembly constituency of Delhi. Your Chief Minister, at your doorstep.”
