Addressing a press conference, CM Gupta reiterated her government’s commitment to fulfilling the aspirations of Delhi’s residents.

“The people of Delhi gave our party a chance by electing us with a full majority. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, we are determined to accelerate the city’s development and welfare,” she stated.

She emphasized the importance of inclusive governance and urged all sections of society to contribute to the budgeting process.

“To ensure holistic growth, we must take everyone along and incorporate their suggestions into the budget. Our *Sankalp Patra* highlights key focus areas, including financial assistance for women, healthcare expansion, public transport promotion, pollution reduction, job creation, education improvements, affordable nutrition for the poor, senior citizen welfare, and Yamuna river cleaning. These priorities will guide the budget,” she said.

As part of the budget consultation process, Gupta announced that stakeholder meetings will be held to gather insights. On March 5, women’s organizations and education sector representatives will be invited to the Assembly, followed by business and industrial leaders on March 6 to present their recommendations.

Ministers and MLAs will also engage with people from rural areas, farming communities, youth, and the education sector to gather feedback.

During the Assembly session on Monday, CM Gupta revealed that the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report on Delhi’s health sector would be presented, highlighting alleged financial irregularities under the previous AAP-led government.

Taking aim at the AAP, she said, “They prevented the CAG report from being presented for years, but now their misdeeds are being exposed. Only two reports have been tabled so far, and 12 more are pending. The people of Delhi are witnessing how they deceived them under the garb of honesty.”

She further urged the Opposition to engage constructively in Assembly discussions.

“Our MLAs will debate the findings, and I call upon the Opposition to engage meaningfully instead of obstructing the process,” she added.
