In its post, AAP wrote: “Is Delhi run like a Phulera-style panchayat? CM Rekha Gupta holds a meeting attended by several officials and staff, but a chair is placed next to her for her husband, Manish Gupta.”

The meeting, held at the Chief Minister Jan Seva Sadan, was convened to review development works in the Shalimar Bagh constituency. CM Gupta shared photographs from the meeting on her social media accounts.

“Today, at the Chief Minister Jan Seva Sadan, I reviewed the development works underway in the Shalimar Bagh constituency. During the meeting, officials were instructed to regularly assess the progress of ongoing work in the area and submit detailed status reports within the stipulated timelines,” CM Gupta wrote on X.

“The discussion also covered the progress of completed and pending projects, and directions were given to resolve departmental issues related to land use. Harvesting points will be established in waterlogged areas of Shalimar Bagh. The process of reviving local markets will be initiated and action will be taken to remove tilted or fallen trees. Continuous monitoring and timely completion of public welfare works remain our highest priority,” she added.
