The allocation of the highest-ever Budget of Rs 1 lakh crore for Delhi, the implementation of Ayushman Bharat Yojana, steps taken to clean Yamuna, and eradication of 4,000 dark spots — these were some of the key highlights in a 22-page ‘workbook’ released by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday to mark 100 days of her government.
“I am calling this book a workbook instead of a report card because it is a document of Delhi’s development, where the work done by the government will be updated over time. We spent the last 100 days working on several important public welfare initiatives…,” Gupta asserted at an event with ministers Ashish Sood, Kapil Mishra and Ravinder Indraj by her side.
Officials said the CM will now visit Haridwar with her family on June 1 and take a holy dip in the Ganga “as an act of thanksgiving”.
After taking charge as the Chief Minister of Delhi, officials said, Gupta had begun her day at 6 am with field visits, followed by public hearings at her residence, road inspections, and meetings with officials.
“The CM has not taken a break in the last 100 days. She has decided to go on a small trip with her husband and children,” said a senior official.
“In Haridwar, a new ashram is being inaugurated, the CM will be attending that event. After that, she will take a holy dip in the Ganges…On the second day, she plans to visit Kedarnath and Badrinath temples,” the official added.
Back at the event at the Delhi Secretariat, Gupta said in the next 10 days, the BJP government will hold public meetings in all 70 Assembly constituencies to let people directly learn about the government’s work.
She added that in these meetings, Delhi government ministers, MLAs, councillors, and MPs will not only share the achievements of the past 100 days but also gather suggestions from the public for the coming days and inform them about future plans.

The CM also announced that the government will hold a mega event on Saturday at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, where they will release the workbook and a comprehensive presentation of their achievements in the last few months.
“The Central and state governments are working together as a double-engine government to serve the people. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we are continuously working towards the development of Delhi,” the CM asserted.
Targeting the previous AAP government, the CM said, “We all know that the previous government indulged in corruption, sat in a Sheesh Mahal (glass palace) worth crores, did nothing for the people except praise themselves using their corrupt money…”
“Wo naam karne wali sarkar thi, ye kam karne wali sarkar hai. Wo 10 saal ki brashtachari ka meva khane wali sarkar thi, ye 100 din ki seva karne wali sarkar hai (That was a government only for the sake of it… This is the government that is functional… That government indulged in corruption for 10 years… this government has served the people in 100 days),” she added.
