New Delhi [India] – The Delhi BJP Budget Controversy has come to light as AAP leaders claim that the Delhi government has plunged the capital into debt despite limited progress over the past year. During a press conference, Delhi AAP State Convenor Saurabh Bhardwaj revealed that the BJP administration secretly requested a ₹1,000 crore loan from the Reserve Bank of India to meet financial needs.
BJP’s Budget Claims Under Question
Just a year ago, the BJP had presented a budget of ₹1 lakh crore, promising significant development projects for Delhi. However, according to AAP, very little has been accomplished, raising concerns over fiscal mismanagement and lack of transparency.
