Delhi CM Rekha Gupta: Delhi has got its next Chief Minister. Once again the command of Delhi has been handed over to the woman. Rekha Gupta will be the fourth woman who will become Delhi CM after Sushma Swaraj, Sheila Dixit and Atishi Marlena. Delhi got the first Chief Minister Sushma Swaraj. The BJP made him the Chief Minister for the last 52 days of his Delhi government. Now this story of 27 years ago after Rekha Gupta was made CM is being remembered a lot.
In fact, when the assembly elections were held in Delhi in 1993, the BJP came to power with a clear bahmat by winning 49 out of 70 seats, but then the position of the party did not become as strong as it is today. In such a situation, in the then 5 years in Delhi, the Bharatiya Janata Party had to give three chief ministers. First of all, Madan Lal Khurana was made CM for two years, then Sahib Singh Verma was more than two and a half years CM, in the last Sushma Swaraj was given this post for 52 days.
Then there were unstable governments at the center
Three decades ago, there was a period of uproar in the politics of the entire country. This was the time when the Prime Minister was changing at the center every year. After the 1996 general election, the BJP government was formed but Atal Bihari Vajpayee could become Prime Minister for just 16 days. After him, with the support of the Congress, two United Front leaders became PM. First HD Devigowda and then Indrakumar Gujral were made Prime Minister. Changing equations in the center also affected Delhi. Now it is not so. There is a stable government at the center for the last two and a half decades. The stability of the Center also provides a stable government in the states.
BJP is much stronger than before
The BJP was taking a strong shape at that time, but still it looked somewhat weaker than the Congress. In such a situation, the Chief Ministers of the BJP did not get as much support from the high command as it is getting today. At that time, the BJP high command was fighting different challenges and Sushma Swaraj was facing different challenges of Delhi. Today is not the time. Now, if the BJP government is in trouble in any state of the country, then the high command solves the problem in a pinch. Today the entire BJP high command is standing with Rekha Gupta.
Time for internal pulls in BJP
In the earlier BJP, decisions were taken together, in such a situation, it was necessary to listen to many strong leaders of BJP. Now the situation has changed. Now if the BJP high command makes a decision, then it has to be accepted by everyone. In such a situation, there is no internal tussle in the party and there is no risk of falling the government. That is, Rekha Gupta does not need to be afraid of the internal challenges of the party.

Overall, that time of Chief Minister was not easy for Sushma Swaraj, but there is no challenge for Rekha Gupta in the next 5 years. They only have to fulfill the BJP’s promises made in Delhi. If she meets the expectations of the public, then she is from her for 5 years.
