"We have decided to ask the people how their budget should be instead of allocating money to various departments. We will chose 5-10 assembly constituencies for the initiative. Their feedback will then be discussed in the House," the Chief Minister said.

Kejriwal said people should have a say on how the funds are spent in their areas and the initiative was an effort to involve the citizens in governance.

"Budget will be made based on need of the people. We will start the initiative on a pilot basis," he said.
