In a significant prelude to Delhi’s legislative calendar, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta met Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta in a courtesy call on Friday. Their talks delved deeply into logistics for the impending budget session and a range of bills impacting the city’s evolution.
Taking to X, the CM highlighted the meaningful exchange, underscoring her team’s dedication to a forward-looking budget that fulfills Delhiites’ expectations. This meeting sets the stage for what promises to be a crucial three-day session from March 23 to 25.
Decided in a recent cabinet huddle under Gupta’s leadership, the session kicks off with the Economic Survey on March 23. This document will paint a detailed picture of Delhi’s fiscal health over the last year, covering revenues, spends, developmental strides, and scheme implementations.
The spotlight falls on March 24 when the 2026-27 budget is unveiled by the CM herself, given her finance role. Analysts predict emphasis on core areas like roads and rails, schools and hospitals, public transit, cleanliness drives, and civic upgrades, alongside fresh welfare measures.
Day three, March 25, brings budget deliberations with inputs from all sides of the house. Post-discussion, the government will reply and steer the budget through approval. Amid heightened political activity, this session is seen as a launchpad for bold announcements strengthening Delhi’s infrastructure and services.
