Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday assured farmers that the new Delhi government would address all their concerns, emphasizing that both the Central and Delhi governments, as a double-engine government, would work together to resolve their issues.
Her remarks came after a budget consultation with farmers from across the capital.
“We called the farmers from every corner of Delhi to consult about the budget. They have shared their suggestions with us,” Gupta said, highlighting that villages in Delhi have seen little development over the last 15-20 years.
“They are now having a lot of hope from the new Delhi government. I assure them that all the problems they have put before us will be solved. Today, there is a double-engine government. The Central and Delhi governments together will solve every problem of the farmers,” she added.
Earlier, on March 6, CM Gupta held an interactive session with traders, businessmen, and business organizations to gather their input for the Delhi Budget 2025. Business representatives from across the capital participated in the discussion, highlighting key concerns.
She also emphasized that her government is actively seeking public suggestions for the upcoming Budget. “The Delhi government is going among the public to take suggestions for the Delhi Budget. I met the people living in the slums in RK Puram Assembly constituency and took suggestions from them,” Gupta said.
The Delhi Assembly Budget Session is scheduled to take place from March 24 to 28, with the Budget to be presented on March 25.
“Hon’ble Members are informed that the Second Session (Budget Session) of the Eighth Legislative Assembly of the National Capital Territory of Delhi will commence on Monday, 24th March 2025, at 11:00 A.M. in the Assembly Hall, Old Secretariat, Delhi.
