New Delhi, March 26 – Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva accused Aam Aadmi Party’s Delhi convener Saurabh Bharadwaj of spreading false information about the "Green Budget" presented by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday.
Sachdeva stated that Bharadwaj, in his characteristic manner, objected to calling the Delhi government's 2026-27 budget a "Green Budget."
"This objection is not only ridiculous but also reflects his lack of administrative and political understanding," he said, adding that Bharadwaj's remarks are becoming increasingly absurd as he seeks to raise issues solely to stay in the news.
Sachdeva questioned Bharadwaj, pointing out that the Delhi government has always allocated funds to health and education. However, Arvind Kejriwal has repeatedly promoted his government's education and health budgets as revolutionary, without constructing new school buildings or opening new hospitals.
Now that the BJP government has claimed to have presented a "Green Budget," Bharadwaj is engaging in childish opposition.
Sachdeva added that every government creates budget heads under which allocations are made. Following the same system, the current Delhi government has included expenditures on improving roads through the Public Works Department and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, along with projects such as RRTS, promotion of e-buses and electric vehicles, and initiatives like the pink ticket scheme, under the "Green Budget" head.
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 of his old political strategy.
The spokesperson said that despite being in power for 11 years, Kejriwal did not deliver results and instead relied solely on playing the victim card.
"Now that his 11 years of administrative failures and corruption are being exposed, he is once again trying to play the victim card," said Kapoor.
The Delhi BJP spokesperson further added that Kejriwal had succeeded twice – in 2015 and 2020 – by playing the victim card, but now the people of Delhi fully understand his double game and will no longer be misled.
