feedback on budget,
blank fantasy budget
Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Ramveer Singh Bidhuri has termed the employment budget of the AAP government as fictitious. He said that with this budget the government has tried to mislead the people. The government has not brought any concrete program of employment in the budget. Apart from this, failure in the fields of health, education, transport, environment, electricity, and water is also not hidden from anyone.
Budget drama and fraud
State Congress Vice President and former MLA Jaikishan said that the current budget is a drama, a hoax and a hoax with the people of Delhi. The budget will not only stop the pace of development, but inflation will not be stopped in any way. Education, health, pension of the elderly, no public utility has been given priority. This is another bundle of lies in the incessant lies of the Chief Minister.
Gave only 440 jobs
BJP state president Adesh Gupta said that the budget of the Delhi government is a bundle of lies. In the year 2015, the Delhi government had promised to provide 8 lakh and then 10 lakh jobs. Now the government has claimed to provide 20 lakh jobs. But according to the information received from the Right to Information, so far only 440 people have been given employment by the AAP government.
Budget a bundle of lies: Anil Kumar
The Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee has called the budget presented by the Delhi government as anti-poor, anti-Dalit, anti-youth and a bundle of lies. State Congress President Anil Kumar said that the employment budget is to make fun of 15 lakh unemployed youth registered on the government portal. This is an anti-poor budget. No provision has been made in the budget for Dalit upliftment, control of inflation. In Delhi, 15,34,832 youth are unemployed, but the Kejriwal government does not give employment to the youth and did not make any provision in the budget to give unemployment allowance to them. But making a hollow announcement of giving 20 lakh jobs. Reduced education budget and no announcement on employees.
