Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta took a jibe on the opposition and said they criticized her after she had hired their own tone in the midst of a political Slugfest after the presentation of Delhi's budget.
'Bahut Khafa Hai Mere Lehza Badlne Se, Jab Unhi Ke Lehze Me Baat Ki [They are very upset that my tone has changed, but I only started speaking in their tone] It is not in their fate to be on the prevailing side, “said Rekha Gupta.
The Chief Minister of Delhi also accused the opposition of ruthless finding errors, despite what she described as a “large and substantial” budget for national capital.
She said: “Such a big budget came for Delhi, but they did not leave a stone in finding mistakes. On Twitter and in the media they claim that Delhi is being ruined. If a good and substantial budget is presented, it should be a reason for happiness. Everything will be clear within a few days.”
Rekha Gupta also pointed to reducing the dependence on the delhi government of help from the center.
