Pages of progress: CM brings out workbook on first 100-day wins

NEW DELHI:

Chief minister Rekha Gupta called the 100-day mark a milestone of "decisive and impactful" governance, asserting that every day of the administration so far had been devoted to the service of Delhi's 20 million residents. The workbook, she said, was a record not just of promises made, but of promises kept.

Speaking to Hindustan Times on the sidelines of the event, Gupta said the government would soon bring in an ordinance to regulate private school fees, with the Assembly session expected to be held in July.

A public event has been scheduled at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on May 31, where the government will showcase its progress and seek feedback from citizens.

Unveiled at the Delhi Secretariat in the presence of Cabinet ministers Ashish Sood, Kapil Mishra, and Ravinder Indraraj Singh, the workbook outlines a raft of initiatives rolled out since the BJP assumed power in February—from health care and education reforms to infrastructure upgrades and welfare schemes. For a party returning to power in the city after over 27 years, the event is not just symbolic—it is appears intended as a statement of intent.
