'Now, public hearing will not just be at my home...': Delhi CM Rekha Gupta reacts day after attack

Delhi CM Rekha Gupta

One day after she was attacked, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta took to X post to say that she will not back down from performing her duties because of the attack.

"When I was in college, Papa gave me a car to drive. One day, a big accident happened. I got scared and became afraid to even touch the car again. Then Papa said that accidents happen in life, but you can't stop out of fear. You can't stop walking on the path," CM Gupta wrote.

"Today, his same lesson comes to mind again. Yesterday, another accident happened, but I can never stop fighting for the interests of Delhiites. Every moment of my life and every particle of my body is dedicated to Delhi. Despite all these unexpected blows, I will never abandon Delhi. Anyway, women have double the strength to fight through difficulties. They have to pass countless tests to prove themselves. I am ready too!" the X post further wrote.

मैं जब कॉलेज में थी, तब पापा ने मुझे कार चलाने के लिए दी। एक दिन बड़ा एक्सीडेंट हो गया। मैं डर गई और मुझे दुबारा कार को हाथ लगाने से डर लगने लगा। तब पापा ने कहा कि जीवन में दुर्घटनाएँ होती रहती हैं, डरकर रुकना नहीं है। आप रास्ते पर चलना नहीं छोड़ सकती।

Her X post read, "Now, public hearings will not only be held at my home but in every assembly of Delhi. Your Chief Minister, at your doorstep."

Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta was attacked during a Jan Sunvai event, an open house for public grievances, at her residence on Wednesday. The local BJP unit has condemned the assault in the “strongest possible terms”.
