Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has broken her silence on the continuous trolling she faces for verbal slips, including the recent mispronunciation of 'AQI' (Air Quality Index) as 'AIQ' and an earlier instance where she mistakenly said 'Congress' instead of 'British'. Speaking in the Delhi Assembly on Friday, January 9, 2026, Gupta expressed deep pain over the personal attacks and memes circulated by the opposition, primarily the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). She alleged that the relentless targeting reflects a deeper bias, stating, 'They don't like the fact that a woman Chief Minister is working 24/7' for Delhi. Gupta highlighted her government's commitment to delivering on promises and working tirelessly on the ground for the people of Delhi, contrasting it with what she described as the opposition's focus on 'confrontational politics'. She emphasized that verbal errors are human and can happen to anyone, but the deliberate intent behind the trolling is deeply hurtful. The Hindustan Times article, 'Rekha Gupta breaks silence on 'AIQ' trolling: 'They can't handle a woman CM working non-stop for Delhi'', accurately reports these events and statements. This narrative is widely corroborated by other prominent Indian news outlets such as NDTV, Mint, The Times of India, The New Indian Express, Deccan Herald, and The Indian Express, all reporting on CM Rekha Gupta's emotional address in the assembly regarding the trolling and her accusations against the opposition. Rekha Gupta assumed office as the Chief Minister of Delhi in February 2025, representing the Bharatiya Janata Party, a fact consistently reported by various news sources in this timeframe.
