Rekha Gupta, the BJP's pick for Delhi Chief Minister, left her home Wednesday evening, to attend a meeting of the party's newly elected legislators. She entered the meeting as one of the party's 48 MLAs - they were there to select a Chief Minister, members of the cabinet, and a Speaker.
Ms Gupta left the meeting with the top post in her pocket.
This morning, with her oath ceremony in a few hours, a delighted Ms Gupta told NDTV, "When I left home, I did not know that I would become the Chief Minister".
