The first session of the newly constituted Delhi Assembly commenced on Monday, with MLAs taking their oaths in six languages—Hindi, English, Sanskrit, Urdu, Maithili, and Punjabi—reflecting the linguistic diversity of the legislature. The session also marked the BJP’s return to power after 26 years.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta took oath as a member of the 8th Legislative Assembly. Three-time BJP MLA Vijender Gupta was elected as the new Speaker after the ruling BJP moved two motions—one by CM Rekha Gupta and another by Cabinet minister Ravinder Indraj—for the Rohini MLA’s election.
