After a historic comeback, the BJP has finally taken control of Delhi’s government, ending the 27-year drought. And let’s just say, the new cabinet is already giving us plenty to talk about. If you thought politics in Delhi was boring, brace yourself—things are about to heat up.
The newly minted Delhi cabinet, led by the BJP, unveiled its portfolio allocation today, handing out the keys to some of the capital’s most crucial departments. While the ministers smiled for the cameras, insiders know the real test starts now—because running Delhi is no walk in the park.
So, who’s in charge of what? Here’s the lineup:
Rekha Gupta seems to be the new power player. She’s got her hands full with Home, Finance, Services, Vigilance, and Planning. Basically, if you blink in Delhi, it’s likely her team is involved.
Parvesh Verma is the man to watch for all things Education, Public Works Department (PWD), and Transport. With Delhi’s roads and buses under his command, every pothole and traffic jam might just have his name on it—no pressure!
Kapil Mishra is back in the action, taking charge of Water, Tourism, and Culture. A perfect mix, right? Fix the water crisis in the morning, and by evening, promote Delhi as the ultimate tourist hub. Who says you can’t multitask?
Manjinder Singh Sirsa will be steering the ship for Health, Urban Development, and Industries. The health sector in Delhi has been on everyone’s mind for the past few years, so Sirsa will need more than just good intentions to deliver here.
Ravindra Kumar Indraj will handle Social Welfare, SC/ST Affairs, and Labour. It’s a role that demands both compassion and quick action—Delhi’s marginalized communities will be hoping he delivers.
Ashish Sood has been tasked with Revenue, Environment, and Food & Civil Supplies. From sealing illegal constructions to tackling Delhi’s pollution, his desk might already be overflowing with files.
Pankaj Kumar Singh rounds up the team with Law, Legislative Affairs, and Housing. With Delhi’s legal battles and housing concerns piling up, Singh better be ready to roll up his sleeves.
What’s at Stake?
The BJP’s win after 27 years is a big deal. But winning elections is one thing—running Delhi is a different beast. Air pollution, water shortages, crumbling infrastructure, and the never-ending blame game with the Centre have haunted every government. Can this new team finally break the cycle? Or will it be business as usual, with more press conferences than actual work?
The Road Ahead
Delhiites are watching closely. Social media is already buzzing—some cheering, others sharpening their criticism. One thing’s for sure: this government won’t get the luxury of a honeymoon period. The city’s problems are waiting. And so are the memes.
Stay tuned—Delhi’s political drama has just begun.
