Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday wrote a letter to the Centre seeking a grant of R927 crore to take up special development work for the G20 summit in the national capital.


In a letter to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Sisodia said it will not be easy for the Delhi government to spend so much from its limited resources for the summit’s preparations. Sisodia, who also holds the finance portfolio, also said that they will extend full cooperation to the Centre for successfully hosting the G20 summit.

Stating that the Delhi government has prepared a plan for infrastructure development, including beautification work around the venues, he also alleged that the Centre has not been paying anything to Delhi as its share in central taxes. “It also did not provide any additional grant to the city government,” Sisodia claimed.
