Rajesh Gupta (born 2 November 1978)[1] is an Indian politician and member of the Sixth Legislative Assembly of Delhi (M.L.A.). He has also been the Parliamentary Secretary of Health in the state. He is a member of Aam Aadmi Party and represents Wazirpur (Assembly constituency) of Delhi.[2]

Early life

Rajesh Gupta was born in Delhi Damodar Prasad Gupta.[1] He completed his schooling from Tyagi Public School. As a teenager, he was into theatre arts and performed street plays and nukkad nataks. During the anti-corruption movement he left his family shoe business and a potential career in theatrics to join Aam Aadmi Party. He passed Class 12 in 1997.[1]

Career

Gupta actively participated in Anti-Corruption Protest led by Anna Hazare in 2011. He also took part in the campaigning during the 2013 Assembly elections. Eventually he contested and won as an MLA in 2015 Delhi Elections. He secured 61,208 votes and defeated former MLA Mahender Nagpal of BJP and won by a margin of 22,044 votes. He served as a Member (2022-2023) on the Committee on Government Undertakings[3] and on the Committee on Estimates.[3]

Controversies

In November 2022, Gupta, along with fellow AAP MLA Akhilesh Pati Tripathi, was implicated in a corruption case. He was accused of demanding ₹90 lakh from a man in exchange for a party ticket for the 2022 Delhi Municipal Corporation election. The complainant, a long-time AAP supporter, alleged that both MLAs had sought the bribe to field his wife as the AAP candidate for Kamla Nagar Ward No. 69. The Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) arrested three individuals connected to the case, including Tripathi’s brother-in-law and personal assistant.[4]

The matter came to light when the complainant, who had been associated with AAP since 2014, approached the ACB, alleging that Tripathi demanded ₹90 lakh to secure a ticket for his wife. The complainant paid ₹35 lakh to Tripathi and was also pressured to pay ₹20 lakh to Gupta. After the complainant found his wife’s name missing from the candidate list, Tripathi’s brother-in-law, Om Singh, assured him that they would secure a ticket in the next election. Based on strong evidence, including CCTV footage, the Department of Vigilance recommended prosecution against the accused with the matter referred to the Delhi Assembly Speaker for sanction.[5][6]
