Gupta dismissed the opposition’s grievances as hypocritical, noting that the electoral revision process has been standard practice for decades, with a notable precedent set in 2002. She argued that the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) only object to the process now that their political influence in the region has waned. According to the Chief Minister, these protests have caused significant economic disruption, costing the city crores of rupees and inconveniencing local traders and residents.
Beyond the protests, the administration pivoted to its record of implementing Central welfare schemes. Gupta highlighted the adoption of the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, noting that her government expanded the health coverage to Rs 10 lakh. She reported that 9 lakh people have enrolled in the scheme with 65,000 claims already processed. The government also touted the expansion of healthcare infrastructure, specifically the establishment of 425 'Aarogya Mandirs' with a target of 1,100. The Delhi Cabinet recently passed a resolution honoring Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 25-year tenure, crediting his leadership for the city's recent shift toward effective, direct-benefit governance.
