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.

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."
