Addressing a press conference, Rekha Gupta also announced portfolios of her council of ministers.
She said that the Delhi government will implement the Centre’s flagship scheme in the national capital. This was a pre-poll promise of the BJP, which had targeted the AAP government for not implementing the scheme.
