      Unrelated Videos Viral As Delhi CM Rekha Gupta Dancing
      CLAIMVideos show Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta dancing to Bollywood songs and wielding a sword.
      FACT CHECKNeither video features Rekha Gupta, the newly sworn-in Chief Minister of Delhi. Instead, they show dancer Sangita Mishra and artist-actor Payal Jadhav.

      Two unrelated videos of an influencer dancing at an event and an artist performing traditional martial arts with a sword, are viral claiming it shows newly elected Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.

      BOOM was able to identify the influencer as Sangita Mishra, a dancer, and the woman performing with a sword as Payal Jadhav, an artist-actor from Maharashtra

      An experienced councillor and a first time MLA from Shalimar Bagh area, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, Gupta was sworn-in as the Chief Minister of Delhi on February 20, 2025. Though a suprise choice for the CM position, 50-year-old Gupta has been an integral part of the BJP's Delhi team and previously held leadership positions in the Delhi Mahila Morcha wing. She is also part of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the student wing Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad.

      The first video shows a group of women dancing to a Bollywood song, highlighting one of them. The video is viral with a caption in Hindi that translates to, "These cheap ministers search for Sanghis and bring them...Dalli Chiep Minister... Sorry Delhi".
