Speaking to ANI, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said, "The national capital, Delhi, is a miniature of India. People from every state of the country live here, and Delhi has a lot of love and affection for everyone... I have come here today to congratulate the families from South India. Today is the anniversary of their temple, and as the Chief Minister, I have come to assure them that Delhi is theirs, and the Delhi government is with them through every happiness and sorrow."

Earlier, Delhi Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena unveiled a plaque to mark the foundation stone laying of a 500 KV Solar Energy Plant at the Delhi Legislative Assembly. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta was present on the occasion.

The LG said the initiative is part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision.

"This is part of the Prime Minister's vision. I have visited the Legislative Assembly premises many times before. Though not all were implemented, I gave several suggestions in the past--as is often the case, it depends on one's intent and vision. But perhaps it was destined to be accomplished through the hands of Vijender Gupta Ji," Saxena said.

"Every time I come here, I feel a deep sense of the unique heritage this place holds, and it is our responsibility to preserve that legacy. It was in this very Assembly that Vithalbhai Patel once served as the Speaker. I'm pleased that an initiative like green energy is being launched from here. This foundation stone is not just symbolic. It is also historic," he added.

The Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta, said that her government aims to build a solar energy network in Delhi to make the city green and clean.

"The Delhi government are taking up new projects every day, and work is underway on them. With the foundation laying of a 500 kw solar power plant in the Delhi Assembly, we aim to build a solar energy network in Delhi to make the city green and clean," Gupta told reporters.

The Chief Minister also said that her government is working to ensure more electric vehicles in Delhi, adding that the government will introduce 2,080 electric buses in the city.

"...We are also working to ensure more electric vehicles in Delhi. We will introduce 2,080 electric buses in the city. The Legislative Assembly Speaker is also doing a great job of making the Delhi Assembly paperless," she said.

Good to see our CM visiting temples representing different communities. Delhi truly is mini-India! 👏 The solar plant initiative is also promising - hope they implement it properly this time. We need more green energy solutions.

While temple visits are good for harmony, I wish politicians would focus more on Delhi's pollution and infrastructure issues. The electric buses plan sounds great but we've heard such promises before. Action speaks louder than words!

As someone from Kerala settled in Delhi, I appreciate the CM's gesture towards South Indian communities. The Guruvayurappan Temple is an important spiritual center for Malayalis here. Small steps like these make migrants feel at home. 🙏

The LG's comments about "destiny" and "vision" sound like subtle political jabs. Can't our leaders just work together for Delhi's development without these veiled remarks? We citizens want results, not political drama.

Paperless assembly + solar power + electric buses = great initiatives! But implementation is key. Delhi needs sustainable solutions that last beyond photo ops and foundation stones. Hope they deliver on these promises.

The CM's presence at both temple and solar plant events shows balance between cultural sensitivity and development goals. This is the kind of leadership Delhi needs - one that respects traditions while embracing modern solutions. More power to her!
