NEW DELHI: The BJP government in Delhi led by chief minister Rekha Gupta is likely to hold a public event to present a report card of its achievements and roll out various welfare initiatives and projects to mark its first anniversary on February 20, officials said on Wednesday.Gupta took charge as the chief minister at a grand ceremony in Ramlila Maidan on February 20 last year after the BJP swept the Assembly polls to end the AAP’s 10-year rule in the capital.The government is planning to hold a public event to mark one year in office, which is likely to be attended by some Union ministers.The events marking the government’s first anniversary will begin from February 8, the date when the election results were announced last year.According to officials, a public event is likely to be held around February 20 in which the government will highlight its various achievements.The government may also launch some new welfare initiatives and projects on the occasion, they added.At the first Cabinet meeting held after the government formation, Gupta took a decision to implement the Ayushman Bharat health scheme that was stalled in the national capital.After fulfilling this poll promise made by the BJP, the Delhi government fulfilled various other promises made in its election manifesto, such as opening Ayushman Arogya Mandir health clinics, free health coverage to elderly under the Vaya Vandana Yojna, and setting up Atal canteens to provide meals to needy people at Rs 5 per person.On Tuesday, CM Gupta announced that all ration card-holding families in Delhi will be provided financial assistance equivalent to the cost of two LPG cylinders per year – on Holi and Diwali.A Cabinet meeting chaired by the chief minister decided to transfer Rs 853, the cost of an LPG cylinder, directly to the eligible beneficiaries through the direct benefit transfer system.Gupta had presented a report card of her government – ‘100 Din Sewa Ke’ – in May last year, marking 100 days of the BJP government in office.
