New Delhi, Feb 27 (.) Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta visited North-West Delhi on Friday as part of her outreach programme, where she presented her government’s report card for its first year in office.
Addressing residents of the parliamentary constituency, she said Delhi’s progress is no longer confined to advertisements, it is visible on the ground.
Taking a swipe at previous governments, Gupta said the region had long been neglected.
“Over the past year, however, the BJP-led government has made a concrete beginning towards development, focusing on ‘Antyodaya to Gramodaya’ to uplift the last person and strengthen rural communities,” she said.
She said that whenever she visits rural pockets such as Mundka, Bawana, Narela, Kirari, and Sultanpur Majra, she feels as though she is among her own family.
Describing her first year in office as a journey “from distress to transformation”, she noted that basic infrastructure, roads, water supply and sewerage have expanded at a rapid pace across the region.
According to the Chief Minister, new projects aimed at improving access to quality education and better healthcare are also being fast-tracked.
The launch of development works worth Rs 264 crore in the Mundka Assembly constituency, she said, marks a significant step forward for the area.
She added that issues once considered permanent by previous administrations are now being addressed with long-term solutions.
The Chief Minister also made it clear that although some of the ten Assembly constituencies in North-West Delhi are represented by the Opposition, her government remains guided by the principle of “people above party” and “nation first”.
She said the government is committed to ensuring that rural Delhi receives the same opportunities as the rest of the city.
The Chief Minister said the progress achieved so far has been made possible by the power of every single vote.
Gupta added that while the direction towards ‘Viksit Delhi’ has been set in the first year, the next four years will bring complete transformation to the region.
