Following CM Rekha Gupta and the Council of Ministers, the victorious BJP has designated Rohini MLA Vijender Gupta as Speaker of the Delhi Assembly.
Gupta, who faced multiple expulsions from the Delhi Assembly during the decade-long administration of former CM Arvind Kejriwal from the AAP, is now poised to lead the House. Vijender Gupta was one of the three BJP MLAs who succeeded in the Assembly elections during the Kejriwal wave from 2012 to 2020.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav was present at the oath-taking event held at Ramlila Ground. Rekha Gupta marks the fourth woman to hold the esteemed position in the capital, following Sushma Swaraj (BJP), Sheila Dikshit (Congress), and Atishi (AAP). Gupta is set to lead the city's government 27 years after the last administration under Swaraj. The BJP celebrated a significant triumph in the Delhi Assembly elections, capturing 48 out of 70 seats, with results announced on February 8.
