Is Rekha Gupta’s Husband in Charge? A Political Controversy Unfolds

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is making serious claims about Delhi’s Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta. They say her husband, Manish Gupta, is actually controlling the government. Atishi, the leader of the opposition, shared a photo showing Manish running a meeting with city officials. She compared this situation to when a woman village leader is elected, and people say her husband does all the work. Atishi found it shocking that a woman as important as a Chief Minister would have her husband running things.

Atishi also raised concerns about problems like frequent power cuts and rising school fees, suggesting that Manish might be involved in those issues too. However, Virendra Sachdeva, the head of the Delhi BJP, said Atishi’s comments were disrespectful. He praised Rekha Gupta for her hard work and insisted it’s normal for family members to support each other in public service.

Rekha Gupta’s husband, Manish Gupta, runs a business called Nikunj Enterprises and works with Kotak Life Insurance. Rekha has acknowledged his support for her career and credited him for helping her achieve her goals.

In response to the AAP’s accusations, Sachdeva pointed out that it’s common for political leaders’ spouses to be involved in their work, mentioning instances involving AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal’s wife. He questioned whether those actions were also seen as disrespectful to democracy.
