Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva on Thursday said that the press statements issued by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Saurabh Bhardwaj are becoming increasingly absurd day-by-day. His aim is no longer to raise people’s issues, but merely to stay in news.
Sachdeva said that, in typical style, Bhardwaj objected to calling the 2026-27 budget of the Delhi government a “Green Budget”, which he said is laughable as it reflects the leader’s administrative and political ignorance.
He said that the governments in Delhi have always spent on health and education. However, Arvind Kejriwal, without constructing new school buildings or starting new hospitals, promoted his government’s education and health budgets every year as revolutionary. Now that the BJP government has claimed a “Green Budget”, Bhardwaj is engaging in childish opposition, Sachdeva alleged.
The Delhi BJP chief added that every government creates budget heads under which allocations are made, and 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.
