'Congress and AAP never addressed issues of people of Delhi,' says CM Rekha Gupta

NEW DELHI: Delhi chief minister

Rekha Gupta

on Friday criticised the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party for failing to address the issues of Delhi residents during their respective tenures, specifying that her government approved the

Ayushman Bharat scheme

on its first day in office.
Gupta, who was sworn-in on Thursday along with six other ministers, marked the BJP's return to power in the capital after more than 26 years.
Accusing the Congress and AAP of neglecting the people of Delhi, Gupta said, "Congress ruled Delhi for 15 years and after that it was the AAP... yet, they never addressed the issues of the people of Delhi. And now, just one day after we took office, they have started questioning our government."
Highlighting her party's swift action, she mentioned, “We approved the Ayushman Bharat

health insurance scheme

in our first cabinet meeting—a scheme AAP stalled for years. We took oath and immediately fulfilled this promise.”

Gupta suggested that Congress and AAP should focus on their internal matters, stating, “Many of their members are ready to leave, and they are worried because we are committed to fulfilling all our promises.”
She also claimed that the opposition feared her government’s transparency. “They are scared because we will present reports in the first assembly session that were never submitted before. The truth about their actions will be revealed to the people,” she said.
Reaffirming her commitment to the public, Gupta assured that her government would keep all its promises. “We started our work on day one by visiting Yamuna Ghat, and we are determined to fulfill 100 percent of our commitments,” she added.
