<p>A fresh political faceoff erupted in the national capital on Saturday after Leader of Opposition Atishi alleged that Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta’s husband was present in an official meeting with senior officers from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), Delhi Jal Board (DJB), Public Works Department (PWD), and Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB).</p> <p>Taking to social media platform X, Atishi shared a photo and questioned the presence of CM Rekha Gupta’s husband at the meeting. “Look at this photo carefully. The person who is taking the meeting of the officers of MCD, DJB, PWD and DUSIB is the husband of Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta,” she wrote.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="hi">यह फोटो ध्यान से देखिए। जो व्यक्ति MCD, DJB, PWD और DUSIB के अफसरों की मीटिंग ले रहे हैं, यह दिल्ली की मुख्यमंत्री रेखा गुप्ता जी के पति मनीष गुप्ता जी हैं।<br /><br />हम पहले सुनते थे कि अगर गाँव में एक महिला सरपंच चुन कर आती थी, तो सारा सरकारी काम उसका पति संभालता था। ऐसा कहा जाता था कि… <a href="https://t.co/ARMX8u98WR">pic.twitter.com/ARMX8u98WR</a></p> — Atishi (@AtishiAAP) <a href="https://twitter.com/AtishiAAP/status/1910959600351707529?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 12, 2025</a></blockquote> <p> <script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script> </p> <p>Drawing a parallel with rural political practices, Atishi added, “Earlier we used to hear that if a woman sarpanch was elected in a village, then all the government work would be handled by her husband… But this must be the first time in the history of the country that a woman has become the Chief Minister and all the government work is being handled by her husband.” She further questioned whether the recent power cuts and hikes in private school fees had any connection with the alleged role of Gupta’s husband in the administration.</p> <h3><strong>Delhi BJP President Virendraa Sachdeva Slams 'Insult' To CM Rekha Gupta, Demands Apology</strong></h3> <p>Delhi BJP President Virendraa Sachdeva responded sharply to the allegations, accusing Atishi of making an “insulting” remark. In his post on X, Sachdeva defended Rekha Gupta, asserting that she had worked her way up from Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) Secretary to the Chief Minister’s post through “hard work and determination”. “Her husband supporting her is neither illegal nor unethical,” he added.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="hi">सुश्री <a href="https://twitter.com/AtishiAAP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AtishiAAP</a> आपकी यह X Post देख कर आश्चर्यचकित हूं की एक महिला होते हुए आपने - अपने खुद के परिश्रम से जन सेवा के संकल्प के साथ डूसू छात्रसंघ सचिव से लेकर दिल्ली के मुख्य मंत्री पद तक की यात्रा पूर्ण करने वाली श्रीमती <a href="https://twitter.com/gupta_rekha?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@gupta_rekha</a> जी के प्रति अपमान जनक कटाक्ष किया है।<br /><br />रेखा… <a href="https://ift.tt/k2C8GAZ> <a href="https://t.co/BhvX0YrKch">pic.twitter.com/BhvX0YrKch</a></p> — Virendraa Sachdeva (@Virend_Sachdeva) <a href="https://twitter.com/Virend_Sachdeva/status/1911045887326917074?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 12, 2025</a></blockquote> <p> <script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script> </p> <p>Sachdeva further stated, “Atishi, being a woman yourself, it is surprising you are insulting another woman leader.” He also highlighted instances involving AAP leaders, including Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s wife, Sunita Kejriwal, who had addressed the public from the CM’s office following Kejriwal’s arrest. “Was that not an insult to democracy?” Sachdeva asked.</p>
