New Delhi, March 27: Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva has accused Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Delhi convenor Saurabh Bhardwaj of spreading falsehoods regarding the ‘Green Budget’ presented by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.
Sachdeva stated that Bhardwaj’s objections to referring to the Delhi government’s 2026-27 budget as a ‘Green Budget’ are not only absurd but also reflect his administrative and political ignorance.
He remarked that the comments from AAP leaders have become increasingly ridiculous as they raise issues merely to stay in the headlines.
Questioning Bhardwaj, Sachdeva noted that governments in Delhi have consistently invested in health and education. However, he criticized Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for promoting his government’s education and health budget as revolutionary without constructing new school buildings or opening new hospitals.
Sachdeva further stated that now that the BJP government has claimed to present a ‘Green Budget’, Bhardwaj’s opposition appears childish.
He explained that every government creates different heads for budget allocations, and following this system, the Delhi government has included expenditures on road improvements through the Public Works Department and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, along with projects like RRTS, e-buses, electric vehicles, and initiatives like the Pink Ticket Scheme under the ‘Green Budget’ category.
In another development, Delhi BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor commented that Kejriwal’s latest post on the social media platform X is a new tactic from his old political strategy.
Kapoor stated that despite being in power for 11 years, Kejriwal has accomplished nothing and instead pretends to be a victim. He added that Kejriwal had successfully portrayed himself as a victim in 2015 and 2020, but the people of Delhi have now fully understood his double game and will no longer be misled.
