AAP govt playing with students future: Vijender
The Leader of Opposition pointed out that not only technical courses but even the fees for general courses like BA and B.Com are beyond the reach of the common man.
Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva on Monday criticized the AAP-led city government over the budget presented by Finance Minister Atishi.
He said on one hand, the minister claimed an increase in per capita income in the city, but on the other side the budget figures shown by her show a drastic decrease in anticipated revenue collections, he added.
Delhi BJP chief further said that last year the national capital had a total budget of Rs 73760 crores, and the revenue of Rs 63374 crores, but this year the budget is Rs 76000 crores, however the revenue estimate has gone down to Rs 58700 crores.

He further questioned saying that the people of Delhi want to know from the minister that when the per capita income and budget amount are rising in Delhi, how come the revenue decreasing.
Sachdeva further hit- out saying that since 2015, the Kejriwal government claims to be giving one of the best budgets in the country with the biggest share for education & health sectors, but apart from big claims on development, things are missing on the ground.
He further said that this year also the budget will fail, and added that everyone knows that 2024 is the last electoral budget of this government and they have tried to play to the gallery by terming it the Ram Rajya budget, despite the same being silent on development projects, Sachdeva claimed.
Sachdeva further slammed the government saying that it keeps pumping funds into Delhi Jal Board and claims of laying water and sewerage pipe lines in 98 per cent of unauthorised colonies, but the BJP leader said that reality was different, which is that over 75 per cent of the unauthorised colonies are still dependent on water tankers and septic tanks for toilet waste disposal.
Sachdeva claimed that DJB has become a centre of scams and it is shocking to see the Kejriwal government pumping in Rs 7200 crores into Jal Board.
Saying that Kejriwal has failed the city’s traders, BJP leader said that the AAP government spoke of investing Rs 200 crores for development of five markets, but till date nothing has been done.
“The Kejriwal government has this year reduced budget allocation on health & education with the budget having no proposal of bringing a new school or hospital, ” he added.
