In a bold political statement during a Ram Navami event in Khayala, West Delhi, newly appointed Chief Minister Rekha Gupta declared that her government will draw a clear ‘Laxman Rekha’ over the politics of appeasement. Gupta stated that her administration will prioritize the politics of contentment, focused on the welfare and development of every citizen.
From Appeasement to Contentment," Says CM Gupta
Addressing an enthusiastic crowd celebrating Ram Navami, Gupta invoked a strong metaphor:
“Lord Ram’s vanvaas lasted 14 years, but yours has been 27 years. In that time, Delhi witnessed evils rise. Every place resembled Lanka, every person a Ravan.”
The CM was referring to the BJP’s return to power in Delhi after 27 years, signaling a new beginning.
She emphasized that politics based on 'tushtikaran' (appeasement) will now be replaced by 'santushtikaran' (contentment), promising a governance model that mirrors the ideals of Ram Rajya — righteousness, justice, and equality.
Peaceful Ram Navami Celebrations Across Delhi
This year’s Ram Navami processions were conducted peacefully throughout the Capital, a stark contrast to previous years. A senior police official confirmed that additional forces were stationed in sensitive zones like central, northwest, and southeast Delhi to ensure public safety.
The peaceful atmosphere stood in contrast to the April 2022 clashes in Jahangirpuri, which had marred Ram Navami celebrations in the past.
A Shift in Delhi’s Political Narrative?
Gupta's remarks signal a major shift in Delhi’s political narrative, as she prepares to reshape governance with a focus on unity and cultural harmony. Whether this vision of 'Ram Rajya' resonates with Delhi’s diverse population remains to be seen — but the intent for change has been made clear.
