Considering the growing support of women across the country, the BJP has taken this important decision. At present, Rekha Gupta will be the only woman Chief Minister of BJP. Apart from this, after Sushil Modi in Bihar, the BJP has adopted a strategy to woo the large voter group, the Vaishya community. By taking this decision under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP has tried to balance many political equations.

Finally, by making Rekha Gupta, who comes from the Vaishya community, the Chief Minister, the BJP made its election strategy more clear.
By making Rekha Gupta the Chief Minister, the BJP has given priority to women’s empowerment and tried to woo its traditional voter base. This decision will strengthen the BJP’s political equations in Delhi and Bihar.
