NEW DELHI: The Delhi government will present its 100-day report card at a public event at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on May 31, where chief minister Rekha Gupta is expected to list the new administration's key initiatives and reforms since assuming office.

"The first 100 days of the Delhi government have been fully dedicated to public welfare, transparency, and accountability. The systems in Delhi, which had been deteriorating for years, have been brought back on track on priority," Gupta said on Monday, at an event organised at Bharat Mandapam. The function marked 11 years of the Narendra Modi-led Union government, three years of lieutenant governor VK Saxena, and the BJP's nearly 100 days' rule in Delhi.

Sworn in on February 20, along with six ministers, after the BJP's decisive victory in 48 of 70 assembly seats, Gupta unveiled a ₹1 lakh crore budget for 2025-26 in March. The upcoming 100-day report is expected to spotlight flagship reforms across health, infrastructure, education, and environmental sustainability.
