'History in remix mode': AAP takes a dig at Delhi CM Rekha Gupta over Bhagat Singh threw bomb against 'deaf Congress government' remark

As per AAP's claims, Gupta allegedly misrepresented Bhagat Singh's actions as being against the Congress and not the British regime during the Winter session of the Delhi Assembly.

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has found herself in a pickle yet again as she has been accused of distorting facts around freedom fighter Bhagat Singh's actions in the 1929 bombing of the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi.

As per AAP's claims, the BJP leader allegedly misrepresented Bhagat Singh's actions as being against the Congress and not the British regime during the Winter session of the Delhi Assembly.

The opposition party shared a video of Gupta's speech and alleged that the chief minister linked the "heroic act" of Bhagat Singh by presenting a bizarre and “updated" version of Indian history.

AAP leaders Saurabh Bharadwaj and Sanjeev Jha took a dig at Gupta for her error, saying, “it seems history is now in remix mode".

According to the video shared by Bharadwaj and Jha, the chief minister purportedly suggested that the 1929 act in Delhi was a protest against the Congress government rather than the British rule.

The AAP said Gupta "doesn’t even know that Shaheed Bhagat Singh was a revolutionary from the time before independence". 

“Big Big Breaking, CM Rekha Gupta embarrasses India, Rekha Gupta ji doesn’t even know that Shaheed Bhagat Singh was a revolutionary from the time before independence," Bharadwaj said in a post on X.

He mocked Gupta saying even school children know that Bhagat Singh protested against the British rule.

“She thinks that after independence, he threw a bomb in protest against Congress. Even schoolchildren know that Shaheed Bhagat Singh threw a bomb in the Central Legislative Assembly in 1929 in protest against the British government," he said.

Jha, meanwhile alleged that this was more than just a blunder and claimed that it was a deliberate factual distortion of history meant to deeply undermine the legacy of revolutionaries like Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev.

“Next time, we might even hear that Chandragupta Maurya expanded his empire under the direction of Gandhiji!" Jha wrote.

The error seems to be a 'slip of tongue' in which Gupta says "Congress" instead of "angrez"

This is not the first time Gupta has been trolled for her slip up. Her “AQI-AIQ" slip-up went viral on social media. She has also referred to air quality index as a standard for measuring temperature and has called Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose as "Netaji Subhash Palace" in a public event.
