Since Ms Gupta’s name was cleared for the Delhi’s CM post, several of her old social media posts have been circulating. In one such old videos the Delhi’ CM can be seen opposing student’s demands against raising the hostel fee in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).

In the viral video, the Rekha Gupta was seen criticising students calling them ‘anti-national and supporting the closer of JNU and said that the University should not exist.

She said, “These guys eat for free Live in hostel by paying 10 rupees. They remain in the name of PhD for 50 years. Keeps mobile worth 1 lakh. Wears T-Shirts of Workth 2,000. Wear shoes worth 8000. They protest when the hostel fees are increased by Rs 300. All of them are traitors. JNU should be closed immediately”.

साले फ्री का खाते हैं
10 रुपए देकर हॉस्टल में रहते हैं
50 साल तक पीएचडी के नाम पर पड़े रहते हैं।
1 लाख का मोबाइल रखते हैं
8000 के जूते पहनते हैं
300 रुपए हॉस्टल के फीस बढ़ने पर आंदोलन करते हैं। ये सारे देशद्रोही हैं। JNU को तत्काल बंद कर देना चाहिए।
