BJP to present ‘Viksit Dilli’ budget; launches WhatsApp number, email ID seeking public suggestions

“The people of Delhi gave the BJP an opportunity with a majority of seats. Under the leadership of Modi ji, all promises made to the people will be fulfilled.”

“We have given directions to officials of departments to take suggestions from all sections of the society and incorporate them in the Budget. We are also launching an email ID — viksitdelhibudget_2025@delhi.gov.in — and a WhatsApp number, 9999962025, on which people can send their suggestions,” Gupta said.

She said the Budget will focus on women’s economic empowerment, expansion of healthcare services, strengthening public transport, pollution control, job creation, improving education, providing affordable and nutritious food for the underprivileged, senior citizen welfare, and the cleaning of the Yamuna River. Delhi’s Viksit Budget will include both short-term and long-term policies to address these areas comprehensively.

Gupta said around 5,000 women from various women’s organisations have been invited to the Delhi Assembly for a consultation on March 5.

“The government will incorporate their insights into policies aimed at enhancing women’s welfare and economic opportunities. We will also consult academic professionals and teachers. Following this, a meeting with Delhi’s trade and industrial organisations will be held on March 6 to gather their inputs,” she said.

Besides this, the 48 BJP MLAs and cabinet ministers have been directed to consult farmers, slum dwellers, and young people.

“The suggestions received from these consultations will be carefully analysed, and viable recommendations will be incorporated… The government aims to prepare a Budget that brings major benefits to the people of Delhi and enhances their overall well-being,” the CM said.

Taking a dig at the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, Gupta said that earlier, there was no focus on public welfare, but in the coming days, Delhi will see changes and development. “We will fulfill all the promises made in the manifesto… We are working day and night… since taking charge. Officials in the Delhi secretariat are working even on Saturdays and Sundays…,” she said.

Gupta also welcomed fruitful discussions from the Opposition, adding, “Rest is their choice.”

A senior Delhi government official said Budget meetings have started and all departments have been directed to submit their budget estimates.
