New Delhi: Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena`s workplace on Tuesday countered the Aam Aadmi Party`s allegations of stalling the Delhi authorities price range scheduled for right now stating that it was not “blocked” and the Kejriwal authorities`s transfer to repair the date of its presentation earlier than in search of the President`s approval is “wrong” and shows the federal government`s “mal-intent”.
The LG workplace mentioned that since Delhi is a Union Territory and never a state, the pre-approval of the President of India has been occurring for the previous 28 years. Earlier right now, Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj alleged, “It is occurring for the primary time in the entire world that the central authorities has stopped the price range of any state.
“Responding to the allegations, the Delhi LG office said, “Arvind Kejriwal, his ministers, and the Aam Admi Party are very intentionally making false statements with the only goal of deceptive the folks of Delhi and the media and distracting them from the failures of the AAP Government. He has been saying that the Centre has blocked a “State`s” Budget. This is patently false.
Delhi is a Union Territory and never a State and due to this fact it’s totally an element and partial of the Government of India. Moreover, the Budget has not been blocked.”Stating that the approval of the President`s consent on the Budget of Delhi is provided in the Constitution, the statement said that the government`s move to fix the date of presentation beforehand shows its “mal-intent”.
“The Constitution provides that previous consent and approval of the President of India are required before laying the Budget of Delhi in the Legislative Assembly and this has been going on for the past 28 years without fail. Fixing the date for presentation of the Budget before seeking the President`s approval for the Budget, in itself is wrong and shows mal-intent on part of the AAP Government,” it mentioned.
“The Chief Minister was aware that the LG has approved the financial statement and made certain observations since 09th March 2023, when the LG secretariat sent the file to him. However, none of the concerns raised by LG were addressed, this way or the other,” the assertion mentioned.
The LG workplace accused the Delhi authorities of deceptive that the salaries of the Delhi authorities staff is not going to be paid.”He again misled people from a media platform when he said that salaries will not be paid to the employees of the Delhi Government. It may be known that the current Financial Year lapses on 31.03.2023 and every employee will get his salary irrespective of the Budget being passed or not,” the workplace mentioned.
Earlier on Monday, the Aam Aadmi Party alleged that the Ministry of Home Affairs stalled the federal government`s Budget 2023-24 which was scheduled to be introduced tomorrow within the Delhi Assembly. However, the Home Ministry sources dismissed the allegations, including that the MHA has as an alternative sought clarification from the Delhi authorities as its price range allocation was focussed on commercial reasonably than the infrastructure sector.
Responding to the MHA`s level, the Delhi authorities mentioned that the allocation for the commercial has not been elevated on this yr`s price range.”MHA is lying. The total budget of Delhi is Rs 78,800 crores. Out of this, Rs 22,000 crores are for infrastructure, while only Rs 550 crores will be spent on advertisement. Last year also the budget for advertisement was the same. There is no increase in the advertising budget,” Delhi`s Finance Minister Kailash Gahlot mentioned.
