Being targeted for verbal slips painful: CM
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday said she felt pained that words mistakenly uttered by her were used by the AAP leaders to hurt her dignity, claiming that the opposition party cannot tolerate a woman running the government and working around the clock.
Replying to the discussion on the ‘Motion of Thanks’ to the Address of the Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena in the Delhi Assembly, the chief minister presented a detailed, data-driven and forthright account of her government’s achievements over the past 11 months in the Delhi Legislative Assembly, while also exposing, layer by layer, the failures, mismanagement and corruption of the previous Aam Aadmi Party government during its 11 years in power.
The Chief Minister stated unequivocally that the Lieutenant Governor’s address was not a mere parliamentary formality but a clear roadmap of a new governance model, one that is steering Delhi away from confrontational politics towards coordination, accountability and outcome-based governance.
She said that today in Delhi, the Centre, the Lieutenant Governor, the Municipal Corporation and various agencies are not working in conflict with each other but are united in the cause of Delhi’s development. The Chief Minister also became emotional in the House and said that the opposition was deliberately targeting her over a human error.
She added that the opposition is unable to accept that Delhi today has a woman Chief Minister. The Chief Minister said that this is the very model which the Delhi government is confidently placing before the people.
