Shalimar Bagh MLA Rekha Gupta has become Delhi's fourth woman CM as well as the fourth BJP leader to hold the post. So far, none of the previous CMs from the BJP have completed a full term in office.

Rekha Gupta won the Shalimar Bagh seat in 2025 assembly elections with margin of 29,595 votes by defeating AAP's Bandana Kumari.

Gupta’s selection as Delhi CM reflects the BJP's emphasis on youth, a clean image, strong organisational links, and the ability to connect with voters. Her appointment is expected to strengthen the party's position in Delhi and set the stage for a fresh phase of leadership in the capital.

The BJP announced Rekha Gupta as the new Chief Minister of Delhi, highlighting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's commitment to women's empowerment. Celebrated by party leaders and widely supported, this move solidifies BJP's dedication to progress and equality.

The swearing-in ceremony of the new government is happening now at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi. Rekha Gupta, a first-time MLA, is taking the oath and will become the 4th woman CM of the national capital.
