00:00But where will our new Mukhiya Mantri be residing?
00:02Will it be Civil Lines, where Arvind Kejriwal's chief minister house was?
00:08Doesn't look like it.
00:09I will not stay in the Sheesh Mahal.
00:12So taking a jibe as well, but also stating that means the Civil Lines residence
00:18where Arvind Kejriwal was residing during his tenure.
00:21That's the visual on your screen.
00:23It became a center of controversy.
00:24It's in fact a sort of a heritage building.
00:27There was a lot of then renovation done, which became the huge scam charge.
00:31Rekha Gupta making it clear, I will not be staying here.
00:36Shreya Chatterjee joining me for the latest on that.
00:39I will stay with people, is what she says.
00:41Rekha Gupta making it clear and deciding on this.
00:45Shreya, you've been speaking to, you got that first reaction from Rekha Gupta.
00:52Tell us more about what the residence then likely will be.
00:58Well, that will be a choice that will be decided shortly, Pooja.
01:02But I mean, because of the fact that Sheesh Mahal has been one of the main attacking grounds
01:07of the Bharatiya Janata Party, it is but obvious that they will not be moving in to the former
01:13residence of Arvind Kejriwal.
01:15That's exactly on the lines of what Rekha Gupta suggested that she will not be staying
01:19in Sheesh Mahal.
01:20And we will be seeing in a short while to come that where will she stay, because it
01:24will be interesting.
01:25Not the first time, though, Pooja, that any chief minister is not going to stay in an
01:30official residence.
01:31Remember, in Bengal as well, Mamata Banerjee doesn't stay in the official CM-designated
01:35residence, but her own house.
01:37Rekha Gupta also has a choice for everything.
01:39Well, she may very well stay in her residence as well.
01:42But clearly, one thing that she's made it clear, that Sheesh Mahal, allegedly, which
01:46is also...
01:47So there will be a new address that will be given.
01:50Remember, Sheila Dixit had a separate address.
01:53Arvind Kejriwal chose that residence.
01:55Where will Rekha Gupta stay?
01:57She says, I will stay with people.
01:59Let's listen in to what precisely was her statement.
02:24You're looking at the Doosu leader, Delhi University Students Union leader, Alka Lamba,
02:32shared this image.
02:33She's standing alongside.
02:34She's now in the Congress Party.
02:36In many ways, it's also a journey.
02:38Remember, we keep saying a woman CM, woman CM.
02:41But the fact is, this woman has also been someone who struggled in political corridors,
02:47starting from ABVP, a student leader, then a municipal councillor.
02:52First time MLA.
02:53And perhaps BJP reminding yet again, anyone in their party can become the top leader as
03:00well of the government.
03:01It's turn now for Rekha Gupta.
03:03Best wishes to her.
03:04All the best.
03:05Because as a Delhi voter, I say a lot of promises, a lot of decisions will have to be taken.
03:09And let's hope that Rekha Gupta can ensure to fulfil those promises.
