Hemant Soren calls on AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal
The senior JMM leader is in the national capital to invite INDIA bloc partners at his swearing-in ceremony scheduled on November 28.
Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari has said the Delhi budget for 2018 presented by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Thursday was only “jugglery of statistics” for the fourth consecitive year,
Tiwari said again the AAP government has announced schemes without constitutional approval which will ultimately lead to the people of Delhi being disappointed.
” From working on pollution control to ration distribution, this budget seems to be concentrating on privatising services and it seems that the Kejriwal government now wishes to play a kickbacks game in connivance with the private companies,” said Tiwari.

The Delhi BJP chief said in his Budget 2018 speech the Delhi Finance Minister seemed less focused on budget proposals and more on heaping critical comments against the Lt Governor.
“While watching the Budget speech of Delhi’s Finance Minister I could not stop laughing as he praised the GST which his CM Arvind Kejriwal all along blamed for ruining the traders. It is a proof of dual standards of this government,” said Tiwari.
He said this government has once again made tall claims on education and health but has failed to reply to even petty questions like “if there has been improvement in the field of education then why the number of students is continuously decreasing in the schools of Delhi Government”?
Tiwari said Sisodia exposed the hollow claims of the government to open 1000 Mohalla clinics when he admitted on Thursday that the government has been able to open only 164 of them.
The government has again claimed to have hiked the Education & Health Budget but the people of Delhi want to know why funds under both these heads lapsed last year, asked Tiwari.
For the people of unauthorised colonies this Budget is a complete betrayal, the Delhi BJP chief said. The government has allocated only Rs 1500 crore for the development in this area but it is mum on the regularisation of the colonies, he said.
