Atishi on Union Budget: Not even a penny for Delhi as share in central taxes

The Hindu  

Delhi Finance Minister Atishi on July 23 said despite paying ₹2.32 lakh crore in taxes to the BJP-led Centre, the national capital has not even got a single penny as its share in central taxes in the Union Budget presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Lok Sabha. Addressing a press conference here, Atishi said Delhi had demanded a budgetary allocation for the MCD but it did not get even a single rupee from the Centre. Despite paying Rs 2.32 lakh crore in taxes to the Centre, Delhi was asking for just Rs 20,000 crore, which is just 0.4 per cent of the Union Budget. She challenged the Bharatiya Janata Party to "show even one thing done for Delhi in the last 11 budgets presented by its government at the Centre".
