In Delhi, while the BJP has long claimed to be free from the influence of family politics, the current political scenario is raising eyebrows. After a series of successful wins this year, a new face has emerged as the Chief Minister — Rekha Gupta. However, despite her leadership position, it seems she is yet to firmly take control of her administration. Public concerns have been growing over issues like the rising number of stray animals causing traffic congestion, with social media criticism intensifying. Rekha Gupta, in a direct response to these issues, has been visibly engaging with the public and addressing their concerns head-on, reflecting her hands-on leadership style.
Yet, there’s another layer to the story — Rekha Gupta’s husband, Manish Gupta, is allegedly stepping into key administrative roles, prompting speculation over the real power centre in the Delhi government. Opposition alleges that Manish Gupta has been directly interacting with government officials and even visiting the revenue department to manage issues, fueling online debates about his level of influence.
AAP leaders, including former CM Atishi, have even shared images online suggesting that the Delhi CM’s husband might be controlling significant aspects of the administration. While Rekha Gupta is addressing a range of governance issues, her husband’s growing involvement in official matters has led to questions about whether the administration is truly led by her, or if the power lies with Manish Gupta.
This ongoing controversy continues to stir discussions, with many questioning the true extent of Rekha Gupta’s control over her government. As this issue unfolds, it’s clear that family influence in politics is a topic that can no longer be ignored.
