Singh said due to this, the saffron party’s tally stands at 116 while that of the ruling AAP has decreased to 114 due to the resignation of three of their councilors, who became MLA.
After the oath ceremony of Delhi cabinet led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, former CM Atishi on Thursday claimed that she and her party are hopeful that the BJP will honour its word to provide Rs 2,500 honorarium to all women of the city in the first cabinet meeting as promised by them during the Assembly elections.
Addressing a press conference here Atishi said, “Today, I extend my congratulations to Rekha Gupta and her entire cabinet on their swearing-in. Delhi has got its fourth woman Chief Minister, which is a matter of pride for the women of this city. I hope that, as a woman CM, Rekha Gupta will fulfil the promises made by the BJP to the women of Delhi.”
