Background

Delhi Budget 2023 Live: Hello and welcome to ABP Live Delhi Budget 2023 Live blog. Follow this space for all the latest updates and breaking news on Delhi Budget 2023. The Delhi Budget 2023 will be presented in the Delhi Legislative Assembly today after the home ministry aprroved it putting an end to the impasse between the Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government and the Centre. Delhi Finance Minister Kailash Gehlot, who took charge of the finance portfolio last month, will present the Budget for the first time. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal informed that the budget, which will now be presented on Wednesday, had been approved “without any change” as he questioned the practice of sending it to the Centre for clearance.  The Budget document was scheduled to be tabled on Tuesday but got delayed after the MHA sought clarification on the allocation of funds for infrastructure and advertisements from the AAP government.The Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday alleged that the Kejriwal dispensation sat on the clarifications sought by the Ministry of Home Affairs for three days and then blamed the Centre for gaining “cheap publicity”.Speaking in the Assembly, Delhi CM alleged that the Centre’s objection was a departure from tradition and an attack on the Constitution. “The Delhi government wants to work and not fight. We are tired of fighting and it serves no one. We want to work together with the prime minister, we do not want any tussle,” the chief minister said. The CM informed that the Centre had raised four queries.“We replied to them without any other change in the budget. Now, they have given approval to it which proves that their ego was satisfied that the Delhi government bowed down,” Kejriwal said.The AAP supremo said that “uneducated” people were posted from top to bottom, while responding to Centre's objection over higher allocation to advertisement in comparison to infrastructure and other developmental works
