Rekha Gupta: Delhi’s Fourth Woman Chief Minister<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rekha Gupta<\/a>, a former president of the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU), has become the fourth woman Chief Minister of Delhi after BJP’s Sushma Swaraj, Congress’ Sheila Dikshit, and Aam Aadmi Party’s Atishi.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She defeated AAP candidate Bandana Kumari by over 29,000 votes from the Shalimar Bagh seat in the February 5 Assembly polls. Notably, Ms Gupta contested the Shalimar Bagh seat in both the 2015 and 2020 Delhi elections but was defeated by AAP’s Bandana Kumari in both years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Born on July 19, 1974, in Nandgarh village of Jind district in Haryana, Ms Gupta’s father served as a bank officer.\u00a0In 1976, her family moved to neighbouring Delhi.<\/p>\n

As a student at Delhi University, she joined the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her active involvement in student politics led to her election as the President of Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) for the 1996-1997 term. She also served as the Secretary of Dyal Singh College and was deeply engaged in student activism, which propelled her further into public life.<\/p>\n

Her political career with the BJP<\/a> began in the early 2000s. She joined the party’s youth wing, the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), and held the role of secretary in the Delhi unit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She was then appointed the National Secretary of BJYM from 2004 to 2006.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2007, she was elected as a councillor in the MCD elections, representing the North Pitampura constituency.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She went on to serve as the President of the Women’s Welfare and Child Development Committee in MCD from 2007 to 2009.<\/p>\n
