Interim budget: Stepmotherly treatment to Delhi, says AAP

Hindustan Times  

The Delhi government on Thursday described the interim budget as “disappointing”, alleging that the Capital has yet again been denied its rightful due and that its allocation has stayed the same as last fiscal at ₹1,168 crore. The Centre has earmarked funds for all urban local bodies of the country but it gave nothing to MCD,” Delhi finance minister Atishi told reporters in her reaction to the Union Budget. According to interim budget documents, Delhi will receive ₹1,168 crore from the Centre in 2024-25, which includes components such as compensation for the 1984 riots victims, share in central taxes and duties, contribution to Union Territory Disaster Response Fund and Central assistance for externally aided projects such as the Chandrawal water treatment plant. AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal said the Budget has failed to address issues such as inflation and unemployment “It is a disappointing budget for the common man,” Maliwal told reporters.
