Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday said the Delhi government will present the 'Viksit Delhi' budget for 2025-26 in the assembly between March 24 and 26.
Addressing a press conference, she said the budget will be prepared after incorporating suggestions from various sections of society.
"To make this a people's budget, we will meet representatives from different women's organisations on March 5 on the assembly premises. Additionally, we will hold discussions with stakeholders from the education sector and traders on March 6," the chief minister said.
She also shared an email ID and a WhatsApp number where Delhi residents can send their suggestions for the budget.
Gupta reiterated that all promises made in the BJP's 'Sankalp Patra' will be fulfilled and that her government is working on a war footing in this direction.
Further, Gupta said that only two Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports have been tabled in the assembly so far and they have already exposed multiple corruption charges against the previous AAP government.
"Twelve more CAG reports are yet to be tabled and more irregularities are likely to surface," she said.
Cabinet ministers Parvesh Sahib Singh, Ashish Sood, and Manjinder Singh Sirsa were present at the press conference.
Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta on Monday outlined the agenda for the assembly session, stating that members will have the opportunity to raise their issues under Special Mention (Rule 280), followed by discussions on key matters, including the CAG report and the cleanliness of drains and sewers.
"Members will be able to raise their issues by way of Special Mention (under Rule 280), after which discussions will be held on CAG. A short discussion will be held concerning the cleanliness of drains and sewers... The assembly will function as per law and rules," he said.
Delhi Assembly Speaker Gupta also met Lt General VK Saxena to express his thanks for his address in the Legislative Assembly.
"I expressed thanks to the LG for his address to the Assembly. Now, the Assembly session will start. The LG will send a message for the Assembly, which will be read out in the House," he said.
