Kejriwal Writes to PM, “First Time in 75 Years….”

New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting for his approval to present Delhi’s budget in the assembly.

In his letter he wrote, “For the first time in the country’s 75-year history, the budget has been stopped.” He also asked the PM whether he hated the residents of Delhi.

Kejriwal’s letter comes a day after the Centre sought clarification from the Delhi Government on why the expenditure on advertisements is more than that on infrastructure before clearing the presentation of the Budget.

The Delhi Budget was to be tabled on March 21 (Tuesday). Kejriwal said the people of Delhi were requesting the PM with folded hands to pass their Budget.

Arvind Kejriwal while speaking to a media on Monday said Delhi Budget will not be tabled Tuesday (March 21). He accused Union government of resorting to “gundagardi” and said that for the first time in the history of the country, a government’s budget was put on hold.

Till the time clarification is not given by the Delhi government, approval for the Budget will be pending before the MHA, the home ministry sources said.

In the 2023-24 budget, themed ‘neat and clean Delhi’, the Delhi government was planning to lay out a plan to beautify and modernise the city’s infrastructure with a focus on cleaning of the Yamuna River and removing three mountains of garbage from landfill sites in the city.
