Delhi CM Gupta flags off Tiranga cyclothon for girls from Vidhan Sabha
New Delhi: Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday flagged off Tiranga cyclothon for girls from Delhi Legislative Assembly in Civil Lines to Rajghat. Addressing the participants, Gupta said the true glory of the national flag will be realised when girls achieve complete freedom and that her government is committed to securing a better future for them. The cyclothon, aimed at empowering women, was flagged off by CM Gupta along with Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood. Meanwhile, the Union Culture Ministry's 'Har Ghar Tiranga Bike Rally', was flagged off by Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, Union Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Union Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth, CM Gupta, and several Members of Parliament. At the bike rally, CM Gupta said, "Have you seen before 2014, that a Prime Minister is leading people with Tiranga in his hands? Leaders left the Tiranga before Independence. Today, people who keep the copy of the Constitution in their pockets don't have Tiranga in their hands.' 'They are the same people who used to claim that they got the country independent but today the same people don't believe in the country's integrity,' she said. The CM added that 'our lives depend on this Tiranga and the three colours represent the prosperity of the country'. 'Every Indian aspires that our Tiranga remains high and immortal. The sky echoes with the chants of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' as this Tiranga Yatra is being taken out," she said. Everyone, right from the MPs to our brave soldiers, is expressing their patriotism. Even 78 years after Independence, our love for our country is continuously increasing with each passing year, the CM said. 'I thank PM Narendra Modi for taking this national festival to every household." Sood urged citizens not to treat Independence Day as a long weekend. "We should contribute in keeping our homes and locality clean," he said. India will celebrate its 79th Independence Day on August 15.

Delhi Assembly passes key bill to regulate fees in private schools
NEW DELHI: After a marathon debate between legislators from both sides that lasted till late evening, the Delhi Legislative Assembly on Friday passed the Delhi School Education (Fee Determination and Transparency in Regulation) Bill, 2025. The government described the Bill as a guardian of the rights of parents across the capital. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said the Bill would bring transparency to the education system and restore public trust. She described it as a realistic and decisive law that would safeguard the rights of millions of parents in Delhi. The Bill, she said, would not only curb the arbitrary actions of private schools but also lay a new foundation of transparency, fairness, and accountability in the education system. It was passed in the Assembly by a majority vote. Education Minister Ashish Sood provided detailed information on the Bill in the House and termed the opposition's allegations baseless and false. During her address, Gupta voiced the pain and concerns of Delhi's parents and congratulated Education Minister Ashish Sood for bringing the Bill forward after consulting education experts, organisations, and parents in such a short time. She said that while Delhi may be the capital of India, its soul resides in the middle-class lanes, cramped flats, and the dreams of parents who sacrifice their own aspirations for the future of their children. 'Education cannot be allowed to become a means of profiteering,' she said. The Chief Minister also criticised the slogans of 'education revolution' under the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, stating that the truth had now been exposed. She accused the AAP regime of leaving school buildings incomplete, failing to appoint teachers, and plunging the education system into corruption. She said that while courts today question the classroom scam, the former AAP government has nothing to offer but silence and pretence.
