New Delhi, March 27: Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva has criticized the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Delhi convenor Saurabh Bhardwaj for allegedly spreading falsehoods about the ‘Green Budget’ presented by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.
Sachdeva stated that Bhardwaj’s objection to calling the Delhi government’s 2026-27 budget a ‘Green Budget’ is not only absurd but also reflects his administrative and political ignorance. He remarked that the comments from AAP leaders are becoming increasingly ridiculous as they raise issues merely to stay in the headlines.
Questioning Bhardwaj, Sachdeva pointed out that governments in Delhi have consistently invested in health and education. However, he accused Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of promoting his government’s education and health budget as revolutionary without constructing new school buildings or opening new hospitals.
He noted that now, when the BJP government claims to present a ‘Green Budget,’ Bhardwaj’s childish opposition is unwarranted.
Sachdeva further explained that every government allocates funds under different heads in the budget. Following this system, the Delhi government has included expenses for road improvements through the Public Works Department and the Delhi Municipal Corporation, as well as initiatives like the RRTS project, e-buses, electric vehicles, and the Pink Ticket scheme under the ‘Green Budget’ category.
In another development, Delhi BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor stated that Kejriwal’s latest post on the social media platform X is a new tactic in his old political strategy. He claimed that despite being in power for 11 years, Kejriwal has achieved little and instead pretends to be a victim.
Kapoor added that Kejriwal successfully portrayed himself as a victim in 2015 and 2020, but the people of Delhi have now fully understood his double game and can no longer be misled.
