Delhi – The Delhi budget has come under scrutiny as Saurabh Bhardwaj revealed major discrepancies in the BJP-led Rekha Gupta government’s financial claims. For the first time, the BJP government has reportedly burdened Delhi with nearly ₹20,000 crore in debt, while the much-publicized ₹1 lakh crore budget has only yielded ₹68,700 crore in actual revenue.
“This is the truth behind the so-called ₹1 lakh crore Delhi budget. The BJP exaggerated the figures, but the actual resources collected are far lower, leaving the city with mounting debt,” Bhardwaj said.
