He added, “I am confident she will work for Delhi’s development with full vigour. My best wishes to her for a fruitful tenure.”

Along with Gupta, Parvesh Verma, Ashish Sood, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, Kapil Mishra, Ravinder Indraj Singh, Kapil Mishra and Pankaj Singh were also administered the oath of office by Lt Governor V K Saxena.
