New Delhi [India], August 20 (HBTV): The chief minister of Delhi Rekha Gupta was allegedly attacked at her residence on August 20. Updates did not immediately detail the nature of the attack and by whom. The mishap occurred during the Jan Sunvai at Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta's residence in Civil Lines on Wednesday, the Delhi BJP said.

Delhi BJP president Virendraa Sachdeva condemned the alleged attack on Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, adding that a police inquiry into the matter is underway.

In an official statement, the party said, 'A mishap happened during Jan Sunvai at CM Residence, Civil Lines. Delhi BJP president Virendraa Sachdeva strongly condemns the attack on CM Rekha Gupta during the weekly Jan Sunvai. Police inquiry will reveal details.'

Delhi Congress chief Devender Yadav also condemned the alleged attack, calling the incident 'unfortunate'. He questioned the security of the Chief Minister, stating, 'This is very unfortunate. The CM leads the entire Delhi, and I think that the more such incidents are condemned, the less it is. But this incident also exposes women's safety. If the CM of Delhi is not safe, how can a common man or common woman be safe?'

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, CM Gupta visited the Yamuna Bazaar residential area, where water from the overflowing Yamuna River had entered. She assured residents that there was no flood-like situation in Delhi and that the water level would drop within one to two days.

After assessing the area, she said, 'The situation is under control. The water level was close to 206 metres in the morning, but it has not crossed this mark yet. The water should recede in a day or two. We are providing food and water, as well as medical facilities here. There is no flood situation in Delhi.'

Gupta further added that the administration had arranged shelter in schools for those wishing to move to safer locations, with food and necessary assistance being provided in the affected areas.
