As the row between the Centre and the Delhi Government escalates over the budget issue, Delhi’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday slammed the Centre over their objections in Delhi’s assembly. The Delhi CM in his attack on the Centre claimed the bases of the objections to be meritless.

Delhi CM in his attack also termed objection by the Centre to be unprecedented and further highlighted how no Central Government has violated the tradition of no objection and halted the budget of any state. Kejriwal then pointed out the objections cited by the Centre and claimed that 20,000 crores were allocated for infrastructure, whereas 500 crores were allotted for advertisement in the Delhi budget.

He further questioned how 500 is more than 20,000 and lashed out at the Centre and claimed that they have illiterate people from top to bottom. The statements by Arvind Kejriwal came after the home ministry reportedly said that the AAP government’s budget proposal had hiked the allocation of advertisement as compared to the low funding for infrastructure.
