Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday said that her government is working on a plan to introduce an ordinance to regulate the private school fees in the national capital.
Speaking at a public programme at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Gupta said, “Education should be accessible and fair. We are committed to ensuring that no parent is burdened unfairly.”
Marking her 100 days in power, she said that her dispensation was all about honest governance, public welfare, and structural reforms in the city.
Gupta also accused the previous government of civic negligence.
“My government spent 100 days in making policies and working for the betterment of Delhi,” she said, adding, “We can’t make false promises. We are working honestly to solve issues like the cleaning of the Yamuna and removal of garbage dumps.”
She termed Vaya Vandana scheme a successful plan offering citizens aged 70 and above health insurance coverage of up to Rs 10 lakh. “Around 1.5 lakh registrations have already been completed,” she added.
The BJP leader also trained her guns at the previous Aam Aadmi Party-led government, and said, “Thousands joined the movement hoping for change, but the people who claimed to have no hunger for power became consumed by it. The public’s trust was broken.”
“How can the national capital be the most polluted when cleaning the Yamuna was never even considered seriously?” she said.
In February, the BJP formed the government in Delhi after 27 years, ending the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) decade-long rule. The party won 48 seats in the 70-member Assembly in the elections. Gupta took oath as the Chief Minister on February 20 along with her Cabinet colleagues in a grand ceremony attended by PM Modi at Ramlila Maidan.
