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.

Nora Fatehi apologises before NCW over 'Sarke Chunar' row, vows support for orphan girls
New Delhi (PTI): Actor Nora Fatehi on Thursday appeared before the National Commission for Women in connection with a controversy surrounding the song 'Sarke Chunar' and apologised, saying there was "no intention to offend anybody."
Speaking to reporters after the hearing, Fatehi said she had been put in a situation unintentionally but acknowledged her responsibility as an artist.
"It was just a situation that I was put in, and there was no intention to offend anybody. But of course, I have to be responsible as an artiste. I definitely apologise, we have done everything in writing. They have been so kind and helpful," she said.
The actor also said she has decided to sponsor the education of a few orphan girls.
"It's really important for us to give back to society. So, I decided that we should sponsor a few orphan girls, their education, so that is the goal after this matter," she said.
Earlier, Fatehi distanced herself from the Hindi version of the song, saying she had shot the Kannada version and that her permission was not taken for its use in Hindi.
The Hindi version of the song, released on March 15 on YouTube, triggered outrage among a section of the public over its allegedly explicit lyrics.
Following the backlash, the makers removed the Hindi version from YouTube, though it continued to circulate across platforms. The lyricist, singer and director have also issued apologies.
'KD The Devil' is a Kannada film, dubbed in four languages, including Hindi.
