Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has engaged in several high-profile public and ceremonial activities. In July, she visited Varanasi to participate in religious ceremonies, including the Ganga Aarti at Dasashwamedh ghat, where she sought blessings for the welfare of Delhi residents.

In August, Gupta led multiple Tiranga Yatra marches to commemorate Independence Day. Alongside BJP National President Nitin Nabin, she participated in a march from Rafi Marg to Kartavya Path, passing landmarks such as India Gate. This event included various BJP leaders, cabinet ministers, and a large number of youth participants. A separate procession was held within the Delhi Legislative Assembly premises, moving from the statue of Mahatma Gandhi to the statue of B. R. Ambedkar, involving Speaker Vijender Gupta and several MLAs.

On August 17, 2026, Gupta flagged off another Tiranga Yatra organized by the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) in Connaught Place. Approximately 6,000 participants, including students and local citizens, joined the march from the Janpath Radial. During this event, Gupta described the yatra as a collective expression of patriotism and a commitment to the ‘Viksit Bharat’ vision, emphasizing the role of youth in education, technology, and artificial intelligence to drive national development.

Throughout these celebrations, Gupta has described the tricolour as a symbol of “national pride, sacrifice, and unity,” and has encouraged citizens to participate in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign to transform independence celebrations into a mass movement.
