“Who Will Marry You?”: Delhi CM Rekha Gupta Gets Emotional During First Visit to Native Village After Becoming CM
Haryana, July 19 (Thetrendingpeople) – Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta made a deeply emotional return to her roots on Saturday as she visited her native village Nandgarh in Haryana’s Jind district on her birthday — marking her first homecoming since taking charge as CM.
The visit wasn’t just ceremonial; it became a heartfelt reunion with her past, filled with stories of struggle, family opposition, and an enduring spirit that ultimately led her to the capital’s highest office.
A Birthday Celebration With a Deeper Meaning
The celebrations in Nandgarh were more than just a birthday affair. It was a proud homecoming for a village that raised one of India’s top political figures. A large crowd of local residents, well-wishers, and family members gathered to welcome CM Gupta, many with tears in their eyes and garlands in their hands.
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini also attended the event, highlighting the close ties between the two BJP leaders.
A Candid Confession: “My Mother Was Extremely Upset”
In her emotionally charged speech, Rekha Gupta opened up about the early resistance she faced, even from her own family.
“When I contested my first college election, my mother was extremely upset. She would say – ‘You’ll ruin your future, who will marry you?’”
Her honesty resonated deeply with the crowd, particularly with the women present. Gupta explained that while her mother was initially against her entering politics, she supported her in silent ways — ironing her clothes and ensuring she was never left hungry, despite disagreements.
Eight Elections, Countless Struggles
CM Gupta also took a moment to reflect on her long political journey. From college politics to the Delhi Assembly, she revealed she has contested eight elections in total — two at the university level, one municipal election, and three state Assembly elections.
“I owe everything to my family’s silent strength and the people of my hometown. Many of them came to Delhi just to help me during my campaigns,” she shared.
“I Too Come from a Simple Family”: Rekha Gupta Lauds Nayab Singh Saini
While praising her colleague and Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini, Gupta drew parallels between their humble beginnings.
“He even worked as a computer operator. Like him, I too come from a simple family with no political background,” she said.
She emphasized that her success story — like Saini’s — was only possible under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, adding, “The BJP has shown India that dynastic politics isn’t necessary for success. Women like me have found real empowerment in this party.”
Gratitude to Her Hometown and Party
Gupta didn’t shy away from thanking her community, crediting their support as a pillar of strength throughout her political journey. She acknowledged CM Saini’s role in bringing development to Nandgarh, saying that he had personally invited her back home and promised a warm welcome.
True to his word, the village was filled with banners, flowers, and cheers — a moment of pride not just for Rekha Gupta, but for every woman who dreams of breaking barriers in politics.
My Final Thoughts from The Trending People
Rekha Gupta’s birthday visit to her village was more than a celebration — it was a full-circle moment. Her story is not just inspiring; it’s a testament to how perseverance, community support, and strong leadership can pave the way for a woman from a non-political background to become Delhi’s Chief Minister. In a country still battling gender stereotypes, Gupta’s rise proves that change is not only possible — it’s happening.
