Meanwhile, the Chief Minister also appreciated the AAP government’s annual budget for 2021-22 of worth Rs 69000 crore which is more than 6% against the previous annual budget which was Rs 65000 crore.

Kejriwal praised Sisodia for maintaining the surplus budget of Delhi government despite facing tough phases during Covid-19 pandemic. “During the Covid-19 pandemic, revenue resources of Delhi government went down whereas expenses increased. However, the AAP government maintained the surplus in the annual budget. I congratulate the Finance Minister and everybody who worked hard for making Delhi’s budget an example for others.”

Through the annual budget for 2021-22, the Delhi government has set up a vision for increasing the per capita income of people of Delhi, claimed Kejriwal. “The budget will set a vision for making Delhi’s per capita income equivalent to Singapore’s per capita income by 2047. A growth of 16% in the income would be required to successfully achieve this goal. It will be difficult but we will work towards making it a success.”
