Rekha Gupta is currently serving as the 9th Chief Minister of Delhi, the capital of the country. Her tenure marks a historic moment, as it signifies the Bharatiya Janata Party’s return to power in the national capital after nearly three decades. Her elevation to this position represents the culmination of more than three decades of unwavering commitment to public service and dedicated political engagement at the grassroots, municipal, and state levels.
As Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta’s governance philosophy is closely aligned with the collective vision of Team Modi and is driven by a clear mission to make Delhi healthier, better educated, and more equitable. She firmly believes that the city must receive the rights, opportunities, and development it has long been denied. Her approach to leadership is rooted in tireless work, honesty in intent, and focus on tangible outcomes, reflecting her conviction that real development is achieved through consistent action on the ground rather than rhetoric or empty promises.
Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta inaugurated the International Film Festival Delhi (IFFD) 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, marking a landmark moment in establishing Delhi as a global film hub alongside Mumbai, Pune and Goa. The grand ceremony featured a red carpet, cultural performances, gala premieres and the screening of the opening film 'SIRÂT', with eminent personalities including Sharmila Tagore, Kangana Ranaut, Hema Malini, Vicky Kaushal, Manoj Bajpayee and Anupam Kher gracing the occasion.

Special initiatives including 'CineXchange' for emerging filmmakers and 'Her Lens' for women filmmakers reflect the festival's commitment to inclusive and empowering cinema. Running from March 25 to 31 at Bharat Mandapam and PVR cinemas across Delhi, IFFD 2026 will feature over 125 films, masterclasses on scriptwriting, acting and cinematography, panel discussions on AI in filmmaking and regional cinema, and a special restored screening of the iconic 'Sholay'.

Rekha Gupta on Monday handed over lease extension certificates and financial assistance to representatives of four gaushalas at the Chief Minister's Jan Seva Sadan, releasing a total of ₹20.26 crore - comprising ₹7.64 crore towards pending liabilities from June 2024 to March 2025 and ₹12.62 crore towards fodder expenses from April 2025 to January 2026.

The initiative further aims to promote clean energy generation through biogas infrastructure using cow dung, strengthening environmental sustainability across the capital.
