Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has defended herself against criticism and mockery from AAP leaders regarding her verbal slips, including mispronouncing 'AQI'. She stated that such attacks are rooted in the opposition's inability to tolerate a woman working around the clock as Chief Minister. Gupta contrasted her government's 11 months of work with the previous AAP administration's alleged mismanagement and corruption, citing issues like hospital project cost overruns and unmetered electricity connections.
