Delhi govt to present 2025-26 budget between March 24-26: CM Rekha Gupta

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced on Monday that the state government will present the Viksit Delhi budget for 2025-26 in the assembly between March 24 and 26.

Speaking at a press conference, Gupta stated that the budget would incorporate suggestions from various sections of society to ensure inclusivity.

“To make this a people’s budget, we will engage with representatives from different women’s organisations on March 5 at the assembly premises. Additionally, discussions with stakeholders from the education sector and traders will be held on March 6,” she said.

The chief minister also shared an email ID and a WhatsApp number for Delhi residents to submit their budget suggestions.

Reaffirming the government’s commitment to fulfilling the promises made in the BJP’s Sankalp Patra, Gupta said her administration was working on a “war footing” to implement them.

Gupta further claimed that only two Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports have been tabled in the assembly so far, both of which revealed multiple corruption charges against the previous AAP government.

“Twelve more CAG reports are yet to be presented, and further irregularities are expected to come to light,” she added.

The press conference was attended by Cabinet ministers Parvesh Sahib Singh, Ashish Sood, and Manjinder Singh Sirsa.
