New Delhi: Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday announced that the Delhi government will present the ‘Viksit Delhi’ budget for the financial year 2025-26 in the assembly between March 24 and 26.
Addressing a press conference, Gupta stated that the budget will be formulated after incorporating suggestions from various sections of society to ensure inclusivity.
“To make this a people’s budget, we will engage with representatives from women’s organizations on March 5 at the assembly premises. Additionally, discussions with education sector stakeholders and traders will be held on March 6,” she said.
She also shared an official email ID and a WhatsApp number, inviting Delhi residents to submit their suggestions for the budget.
Gupta reaffirmed that all promises made in the BJP’s ‘Sankalp Patra’ would be fulfilled, assuring that her government is working on a “war footing” to implement key initiatives.
Additionally, she criticized the previous AAP government, stating that two Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports tabled so far have exposed multiple corruption charges.
“Twelve more CAG reports are yet to be presented, and more irregularities are likely to come to light,” she added.
The press conference was attended by Cabinet Ministers Parvesh Sahib Singh, Ashish Sood, and Manjinder Singh Sirsa.
