New Delhi – Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, who took oath at Ramlila Maidan on Thursday morning, has allocated key portfolios following the first cabinet meeting of the BJP-led government.
Gupta has retained finance, services, vigilance, revenue, and women and child development, among other departments.
Her cabinet includes leaders from diverse caste backgrounds: Parvesh Verma (Jat), Manjinder Sirsa (Sikh), Ashish Sood (Punjabi), Pankaj Kumar Singh (Purvanchali), Ravinder Singh Indraj (Dalit), and Kapil Mishra (Purvanchali and Brahmin). The BJP’s ministerial selection reflects an effort to balance caste representation in Delhi’s new government.
