Delhi's First BJP-Led Budget: A New Era of Development

The BJP-led Delhi government, helmed by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, prepares to present its first Budget in 27 years. Set to potentially exceed Rs 80,000 crore, this 'people's budget' aims to enhance infrastructure, women empowerment, and essential services, aligning with Prime Minister Modi's vision for a 'Developed Delhi'.

The BJP-led administration in Delhi, spearheaded by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, is on the verge of presenting its first budget after 27 years. The assembly is set to review and vote on budget proposals likely to surpass the Rs 80,000 crore mark, as the government seeks to deliver on its promises of infrastructural development and enhanced basic services.

This budget represents a shift towards economic empowerment of women, better education, and health services, a plan detailed in extensive consultations with the public. Over 10,000 suggestions were collated, aiming to capture the essence of a 'people's budget' that aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for a 'Developed Delhi'.

Despite opposition criticism regarding the absence of an economic survey preceding the budget presentation, CM Gupta reassured that audits are underway and reports will follow. The assembly is set to debate these proposals on March 27, hoping to address key issues like pollution, waterlogging, and job creation.
