Delhi CM Rekha Gupta takes holy dip at Har Ki Pauri after completing 100 days in office

Rekha Gupta, marking 100 days as Delhi CM, performs sacred rituals at Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar.

"I pray for a Viksit Bharat, in which Delhi ... moves forward as a model of prosperity. - Rekha Gupta"

Haridwar, June 1

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, who recently completed 100 days in office, embarked on a two-day spiritual visit to Uttarakhand on Sunday, accompanied by her family.

The visit began with a holy dip at the revered Har Ki Pauri ghat in Haridwar, followed by a special pooja and prayers offered to Goddess Ganga.

Speaking to the media after the rituals, CM Gupta said, "After completing nearly 100 days in office, I have come to this sacred land of Haridwar in Uttarakhand and took a holy dip in the Ganga along with my family. Bowing at the feet of Maa Ganga, I pray for a Viksit Bharat, in which Delhi too plays its part and moves forward as a model of prosperity for the nation."

The Delhi CM, along with Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, visited spiritual leader Sadhvi Rithambara's ashram. They also inaugurated the 'Vatsalya Ganga Ashray', a newly constructed Dharamshala in Haridwar.

CM Gupta's itinerary also includes attending the evening Ganga Aarti in Rishikesh.

The Chief Minister is to visit the Kedarnath shrine on Monday, according to the sources.

The BJP-led Delhi government marked the completion of its first 100 days in power on Saturday. On this occasion, the government released a 'workbook' outlining key public welfare initiatives and developmental milestones achieved under Chief Minister Gupta's leadership.

"On the completion of 100 days of service of the BJP government in Delhi, a workbook was released, which includes details of the major achievements so far and future plans," CM Gupta wrote on X.

The BJP had returned to power in Delhi after a gap of 27 years by securing a decisive victory in the Assembly elections held in February this year.

The 100-day report card highlights initiatives in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and women's safety areas, which CM Gupta has repeatedly emphasised as top priorities during her tenure.

Good to see our CM taking time for spiritual rejuvenation. In our culture, leaders seeking blessings from Maa Ganga before continuing their work shows humility. Hope this positive energy translates into better governance for Delhi! 🙏

While I appreciate the spiritual aspect, I hope the 100-day report card has concrete achievements beyond photo-ops. Delhi needs solutions for pollution and traffic more than symbolic gestures. The workbook better have solid plans!

Haridwar visit is fine, but why inaugurate a dharamshala when Delhi's own infrastructure needs attention? Priorities seem mixed. That said, if this brings more pilgrims to Uttarakhand, it's good for tourism and local economy.

As a Delhiite, I'm happy to see our first woman CM balancing governance and traditions. Her prayer for Viksit Bharat resonates with me. The women's safety initiatives mentioned in the report card give me hope for my daughter's future.

The Ganga aarti in Rishikesh is truly divine! Maybe CM should invite foreign delegates there - nothing showcases our culture better. Smart diplomacy through spirituality! 😊

Hope the holy dip reminds our leaders that just like Ganga, governance should be pure and benefit all sections equally. The 100-day report sounds promising, but implementation is key. Jai Hind!
