Delhi CM’s Rs 60 Lakh Home Reno Overhaul Scrapped: Policy U-Turn Sparks Row
The Delhi government has cancelled a tender worth Rs 60 lakh for the renovation of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta’s official residence. The cancellation, announced on July 9, 2025, cited “administrative reasons.”
This move follows recent controversies surrounding the withdrawal of a proposed spending cap and a ban on older vehicles. These policy reversals have drawn sharp criticism from various quarters.
The sudden cancellation of the renovation tender has fuelled further accusations of inconsistency and a lack of transparency within the government. Opposition parties have already demanded a detailed explanation.
The incident adds to growing concerns about the government’s decision-making process and its impact on public funds. Citizens are questioning the rationale behind such significant policy shifts and the associated expenditure.
This development comes at a time when the Delhi government is facing increasing pressure to address pressing issues like infrastructure development and public welfare. The controversy surrounding the CM’s residence renovation highlights the need for greater accountability and fiscal prudence.
