Delhi Budget 2018-19: Congress slams AAP's 'Green Budget', says it fails to meet aspirations of people

New Delhi: The Delhi Congress on Thursday alleged that the AAP government had failed to utilise allocated funds for schemes last year. It also claimed the Budget presented by it was “hollow with manipulated statistics” and falls short of fulfilling aspirations of the people.

Rubbishing the AAP government’s claim of presenting the first “green budget”, he accused that the Arvind Kejriwal dispensation did nothing to control the worsening air quality in the city. Maken also rubbished the claims of the government in transforming the transport, health and education sectors.
