"365 days changed Delhi": CM Rekha Gupta releases one-year report card
New Delhi, February 25
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Wednesday released the one-year report card of her government, highlighting achievements across various sectors as the BJP-led administration completed its first year in office.
Speaking on the occasion, the CM said, "These 365 days were the days that changed the course of Delhi, and the coming 4 years will change the condition of Delhi. Taking new decisions in the interest of the people of Delhi and carrying out development works in Delhi is our daily routine. On completion of one year, I congratulate the people of Delhi."
Rekha Gupta elaborated on her government's performance, stating, "Today's report card reflects the facts of our one year of hard work and change. This government is not a government of promises, but of results. This government is not a government of announcements, but of action."
She added, "In one year, we have tried to take Delhi from stagnation to progress. We tried to take it from excuses to solutions, from advertisements to development. With every step we took, the government focused on less paperwork and more work. I can say that the government in Delhi today does not engage in poster politics, does not engage in tweet politics. We have transformed Delhi's work culture. We offer solutions, unlike previous governments, who used to make noise."
The CM further asserted, "Today, as we complete one year, I can confidently say to the people of Delhi that we have worked across every sector to bring about positive change in Delhi."
Speaking on the education sector, Rekha Gupta said, "The previous govt spoke a lot about education, but the public knows the reality. They spent more money on publicity than on infrastructure. Today, the govt took a daring step of passing the Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Act, 2025, which showed the way on how we can stop education from becoming a business. We want every school to have smart classrooms and digital libraries."

Smart classrooms and digital libraries sound excellent, but I hope the focus is also on teacher training and the quality of education in government schools. The fee act is a good step, but execution is key. Let's see the ground reality.
"From excuses to solutions" – this line hits hard. The last 10 years in Delhi felt like one long blame game. If this government has actually improved basic civic issues like water, roads, and waste management in my colony, then I'm satisfied. The report needs more data on these.
As an expat living in Delhi, the talk of changing work culture is encouraging. The bureaucratic delays here can be frustrating for business. Hoping for more tangible reforms that improve ease of living and working for everyone.
Respectfully, Madam CM, releasing a report card is also a form of publicity. The real test is on the streets. Has the traffic situation improved? Has pollution reduced? Are the hospitals better? We hear grand claims every year. Show us the proof with independent data, not government pamphlets.
The focus on education is much needed. Private schools have been charging capitation fees like it's a shopping mall. If this new act has teeth, it will be a revolutionary change. Bhagwan kare aisa ho! 🙏
