Addressing its first press conference, CM Rekha Gupta said that the previous AAP government did not allow the health scheme in the city, so that people could be prevented from availing its benefits.
The Chief Minister, along with his deputy Parvesh Verma and cabinet ministers, received the allegations after taking oath of office first during the day. After taking charge, Gupta said that not a single day would be wasted in realizing the “Vikasit Delhi” mission.
He said, “A single day will not be wasted in realizing our mission of ‘Vikasit Delhi’ (developed Delhi). We will fulfill all the commitments made to the people of Delhi.”
