Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has announced to give prize money of Rs 1.5 crore to Indian cricketer Pratika Rawal. Pratika was opening for the Indian team in the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup, but she got injured before the knockout matches. Pratika had scored 308 runs in the World Cup.

CM Rekha Gupta confirmed on social media and said, “Today we welcomed Pratika Rawal, the talented player of the Indian women’s cricket team, at the Chief Minister Seva Sadan. Our talented daughter Pratika Rawal has brought glory to Delhi. For her commitment towards cricket and excellent performance, the Delhi government announces a prize money of Rs 1.5 crore for her.”

Pratika Raval was the fourth highest run scorer in the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025. He had scored 308 runs. She was behind Laura Wolfhart (571), Smriti Mandhana (434) and Ashley Gardner (328) among the batsmen who scored the most runs.

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that Pratika Rawal is a symbol of courage, energy and women empowerment. Rekha Gupta said, “His journey shows that Delhi not only gives birth to dreams but also helps them take flight. Best wishes to him for a bright future.”

Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood and DDCA President Rohan Jaitley were also present to welcome Pratika Rawal. When the Indian team won the final by defeating South Africa by 52 runs on 2 November, Pratika Raval joined the team in a wheelchair. Since Pratika was eliminated in the Rawal Beach tournament, there was a question whether she would get a medal for becoming the winner or not. But ICC amended its rules and also gave the medal to Rawal.

The film ‘120 Bahadur’, based on the bravery of Charlie Company of Kumaon Regiment, has been made tax free in Delhi. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has announced this on Thursday (27 November).

Farhan Akhtar’s 120 Bahadur, based on war, is being appreciated a lot. In this sequence, Rekha Gupta posted on the social media platform ‘X’. In the post, he wrote that ‘120 Bahadur’ is a tribute to the ‘extraordinary courage, leadership and sacrifice’ of 120 soldiers of Charlie Company of 13 Kumaon Regiment, who fought bravely at Rezang La during the 1962 India-China war.

Farhan Akhtar’s 120 Bahadur becomes tax free from November 28

Along with this, CM Rekha Gupta said, “As a special respect to the brave soldiers, the Delhi government has decided to make the film tax-free in Delhi from November 28.” She said that this film throws light on the inspirational leadership of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati.

Ticket prices will reduce so much

Obviously, after becoming tax free, the ticket price of 120 Bahadur has reduced. There is now a uniform GST rule on movie tickets across the country. If the ticket price is less than Rs 100, then five percent GST is applicable. At the same time, if the ticket is more than Rs 100, then 18 percent GST has to be paid.

Half of the tax on tickets is from the state and half from the centre. In such a situation, if the Delhi government makes the movie tax free, half the tax will be eliminated. That means, where five percent tax was levied on Rs 100 ticket, now only two and a half percent will be levied. Apart from this, where 18 per cent tax was levied on tickets costing more than Rs 100, now only 9 per cent will be levied.

That is, if the price of your ticket is Rs 300, then on purchase it becomes Rs 354 with 18 percent tax, but after the movie is tax free in Delhi, you will get the ticket of Rs 120 for Rs 327.

How is 120 Bahadur movie?

For information, let us tell you that Farhan Akhtar will be seen in the role of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati in 120 Bahadur. This film depicts the India-China war of 1962 very well. This film is a tribute to the bravery of the brave soldiers of India and their martyrdom.

The country’s capital Delhi was once again put to shame when a student of Delhi University was attacked with acid in broad daylight. This incident took place on Sunday (26 October) morning near Lakshmibai College in Ashok Vihar area, where the student was going for her extra classes.

Suddenly a bike rider threw acid on him. The student tried to save herself. His face was saved, but both his hands were badly burnt.

The one who threw acid was known to the student

Passersby immediately took him to the hospital. First he was taken to Deepchand Bandhu Hospital and later admitted to RML Hospital due to severe burns. According to doctors, the condition of the student is stable and the injuries are not life threatening.

Police investigation has revealed that the main accused was an acquaintance of the student. The accused Jitendra, who lives in Mukundpur area, used to stalk the student. About a month ago, there was a fight between the two over some issue, after which Jitendra started harassing her.

It is claimed that he along with two of his friends committed this crime on Sunday. According to the police, Ishaan gave the bottle to Armaan and he threw the acid.

Questions on women’s safety in Delhi

After the attack, the three accused fled from the spot. However, the police have identified him on the basis of nearby CCTV footage and several teams are conducting raids in search of him. This incident has once again raised serious questions on the safety of women in Delhi.

Protest by NSUI and SFI

Organizations active in student politics of Delhi University have strongly condemned this incident. National Students Union of India (NSUI) national president Varun Chaudhary said, “Acid was thrown on a Delhi University student in broad daylight, this is not just a crime but a proof of the failure of governance. If the BJP government and Delhi Police had really given priority to women’s safety, such incidents would have stopped. The culprits should be arrested immediately and they should be given strict punishment.”

Varun Chaudhary further said that NSUI stands with the victim and her family and the organization will continue to raise its voice until justice is provided.

SFI raised questions on the working style of police

At the same time, Students Federation of India (SFI), Delhi University unit also issued a statement saying that this incident is not just a crime but a symbol of ‘administrative insensitivity and government failure’. The organization said, “It is shocking that such an attack could happen in broad daylight, in front of a women’s college in the capital. The Delhi government and the police have repeatedly failed in such cases. Unless the culprits are given stringent punishment and security is not increased around college campuses, such incidents will continue.”

SFI also said, “In the past years, acid-related incidents were also reported near Miranda House, but concrete steps were never taken. This negligence has now become a threat to women.”

ABVP put this demand before the administration

Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has described this incident as extremely unfortunate and condemnable and has demanded strict action from the administration against the culprits who carried out this attack.

ABVP says that such incidents in and around the university campus are a matter of serious concern from the safety point of view of girl students. ABVP has demanded from the university administration that such incidents should not be repeated, for this security arrangements should be strictly implemented around the campus, the number of CCTV cameras should be increased and police patrolling should be made more active.

Dissatisfaction among university students

Delhi Police has registered an FIR in the matter and said that action will be taken against the criminals under relevant sections of the Indian Justice Code (BNS). According to police officials, several teams have been sent to arrest the accused and technical surveillance has been increased.

After this attack, students protested in colleges and asked ‘How safe are the daughters of Delhi?’ As if the questions started echoing again. Seeing the attacks on women in the capital, people’s anger is clearly visible, because even after repeated such cases, the security situation is not changing.

Delhi CM Rekha Gupta reacted first to the attack on himself during the public hearing on the morning of Wednesday (August 20). He said that this morning the attack on me during public hearing is not only on me, but is a cowardly attempt on our resolve of service and good of the public. He said in social media posts that it is natural that after this attack I was in shock, but now I am feeling better. I request all my well -wishers not to bother to meet me. I will soon be seen working among you.

Can never break the resolve to serve the public- CM

The CM further said, “Such attacks can never break my spirits and resolve to serve the public. Now I will be among you with more energy and dedication than ever before. The solution to public hearing and public problems will continue with the same seriousness and commitment as before. Your faith and support is my biggest power. I express my heartfelt greatest thanks, blessings and best wishes.”

This morning, the attack on me during public hearing is not only on me, but is a dastardly effort on our resolve of service and public welfare of Delhi.

It is natural that after this attack I was in shock, but now I feel better. I request all my well wishers that…

Anupam kher took a dig at arvind kejriwal: An event was organized on Saturday at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi on the completion of 100 days of the BJP government. During this time, Bollywood veteran actor Anupam Kher was seen interviewing CM Rekha Gupta of Delhi. During the interview, Anupam Kher referred to the infamous cough of the previous Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal without naming and taunted him.

Anupam Kher said- ‘I cannot live without saying this. I just saw you speaking in detail and you did not have cough even once. On hearing this line of the actor, the audience started clapping and CM Gupta laughed. Anupam Kher said that he mentioned cough, because in the last few years, the people of Delhi have become accustomed to it.

‘Neither you have cough nor 2000 audiences …’
Anupam Kher said- ‘I regret that I could not stop myself from raising this issue. Neither you have coughs nor have any 2,000 audience cough. It is a big achievement in itself that we are not seeing anyone coughing in Delhi. On this, CM Rekha Gupta of Delhi replied- ‘As far as Delhi is concerned, we will take care of it, but I am more concerned about Punjab.’

The Chief Minister’s remarks indicate the possible use of the strategy of “lies” and “cough” of AAP leaders to hide the failures of the ruling AAP rule in Punjab.

Rekha Gupta recited poetry on ‘Operation Sindoor’
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta further spoke on ‘Operation Sindoor’. He said that ‘Operation Sindoor’ is our victory against terrorists. This is a new India, which will no longer tolerate the actions of terrorists. Now every answer will be accurate, and every war will be decisive. During this time, the Chief Minister also narrated a poem regarding ‘Operation Sindoor’.

The poem was- ‘I am patient in silence, in the challenge, I am valor, I am sindoor. I am the slaughter of terrorists, I am the border of spirits. I am Jeevatri, I am a witness to destruction, I am sindoor. Knowing me weak, I am a tough attack on those enemies. I am a gift of every daughter and daughter-in-law. I am tomorrow and today, I am a shame of India, I am a vermilion.

What did BJP do by staying out of power?
Anupam Kher further asked Rekha Gupta- ‘I want to know how you spent the last 10 years in Delhi before coming to the BJP government in Delhi?’ On this, Rekha Gupta said- ‘When we saw that injustice is happening to the people of Delhi, when corruption is being exposed every day, when liquor shops are opening in every street. We were in the middle of that struggle. Sometimes he used to perform at the secretariat, sometimes he was demonstrating at Kejriwal’s residence. In the last elections, when we used to lose by some margin, we used to live among the public.

The CM of Delhi further said- ‘In 10 years we worked as a public representative. Overall, Delhi lagged behind in these 10 years, but wherever we could correct things, we stayed among people and worked for them. The actor again asked- ‘Why should the people of Delhi believe in you?’ In response to this, Rekha Gupta said- ‘A movement started from Ramlila Maidan and thousands of millions of people joined. Everyone supported the group that would make something better in the country.

Delhi CM news: Ever since the BJP’s victory in the Delhi Assembly elections, there is a period of speculation about being made the next Chief Minister. The central leadership of BJP is continuously churning on names for the post of Chief Minister. It is expected that the BJP can take a shocking decision as usual in Delhi as usual. At the same time, discussions of making women MLAs CM are common in Delhi.

The BJP and its leaders, who have occupied power at the Center for the third consecutive time since winning the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, have broken many electoral and political myths so far. However, it is clear from the results of the Delhi assembly elections that the political history of the state has once again repeated itself. The ruling party has once again faced defeat as soon as the woman CM in Delhi.

The party has suffered defeat during the command of the post of Chief Minister in the hands of a woman MLA in Delhi’s power. This myth has been repeating the cases of BJP’s departed leader Sushma Swaraj to AAP MLA Atishi. Even Sheila Dixit, who was CM of Delhi three times, could not break this myth.

Sushma Swaraj, Sheela Dixit and Atishi even myth shocked

Three Chief Ministers were in the BJP government, which came to power in Delhi in 1993. Among them, CM Madan Lal Khurana was first, after that Sahib Singh Verma’s reins were handed over the reins of the state. Before the election, BJP veteran Sushma Swaraj was made CM in Delhi. In 1998, the BJP was out of power in the election fought under the leadership of Sushma Swaraj.

Similarly, even after Congress leader Sheila Dixit was the Chief Minister for three consecutive times, history repeated itself. Despite being in power in Delhi for 15 years, the myth of being a woman CM in 2013 did not spare Sheila Dixit. Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party dropped Sheila Dixit out of power.

In the Delhi Assembly Elections 2025, this myth also repeated itself. Arvind Kejriwal, who held the Delhi CM’s chair in 2013, made AAP MLA Atishi the Chief Minister in 2025. However, Kejriwal continued to present himself as the next Chief Minister in the election rallies, despite this, the myth of being a woman CM dropped the Aam Aadmi Party out of power.

UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also broke a big myth

In Uttar Pradesh politics, there was a big political myth about Noida included in the NCR region. Due to political superstition, no Chief Minister of UP used to come to Noida for nearly three decades. However, in 2017, Yogi Adityanath, who became the CM of UP, broke this myth. In 2017, he broke this myth by attending an event in Noida with PM Narendra Modi. Since then, CM Yogi has come to Noida more than a dozen times.

Will BJP play the bet of women CM?

Four women MLAs of BJP Rekha Gupta, Shikha Rai, Poonam Sharma and Neelam Pahalwan have won in the Delhi Assembly. The names of these four women MLAs are being speculated for the next CM of Delhi. However, whether this big myth related to the name of the woman Chief Minister will break the BJP or not, only the time to come will tell. However, Pravesh Verma, who became a giant killer after defeating Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal, is being claimed to be at the forefront of this race. Apart from this, many other names are included in the discussion.
