Alka Lamba shares nostalgic 1995 photo with Delhi CM Rekha Gupta
New Delhi: Congress leader Alka Lamba shared a nostalgic post on social media, recalling the time she and newly elected Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta took oath together as student leaders in 1995.
Lamba posted an old photograph from their days in Delhi University, mentioning that she won the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) President post from the National Students' Union of India (NSUI), while Gupta secured the General Secretary position from the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).
"Congratulations and best wishes to Rekha Gupta. Congratulations to Delhi for getting its fourth woman Chief Minister. We hope that mother Yamuna will be clean and daughters will be safe," Lamba wrote in her post.
Rekha Gupta, chosen by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), took oath as Delhi’s Chief Minister in a ceremony at Ramlila Maidan. She defeated Aam Aadmi Party’s Bandana Kumari by a margin of 29,595 votes in the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections, marking BJP’s return to power in the capital after 27 years.
Along with Gupta, six BJP leaders, Parvesh Verma, Kapil Mishra, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, Ravindra Raj, Ashish Sood, and Pankaj Singh, were sworn in as cabinet ministers. Verma notably defeated former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the New Delhi constituency.

Telangana rains: Four farmers dead, three injured as sheds collapse in Mancherial
Karimnagar (Telangana) (PTI): Four farmers died, and three others were injured after tin-roofed sheds and dilapidated structures collapsed in two separate incidents in Mancherial district of Telangana, officials said on Wednesday.
The incidents occurred in two villages of Luxettipet mandal late on Tuesday night, when the farmers were taking shelter in the structures following heavy rain and strong winds.
According to officials, two people died when a shed caved in at Kothuru village.
In a separate incident in Gampalapalli village, two more persons died after another structure collapsed, police and district authorities said.
The three injured were shifted to a hospital in Karimnagar for treatment, police said.
Preliminary reports indicate that unseasonal rains accompanied by strong winds weakened the structures, leading to the collapses.
Authorities are assessing the situation, and further investigation is underway.
