Delhi BJP President Shri Virendra Sachdeva welcomed the “Sarvajan Hitay, Sarvajan Sukhay” budget for 2026–27 presented today in the Assembly by Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta, stating that inspired by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya’s Antyodaya principle and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policy of holistic development, this budget offers benefits for every section of society.

This record budget of ₹1.03 lakh crore is the largest in Delhi’s history, with the government’s own revenue covering about 74% of the expenditure, while the remaining 26% has clearly defined allocations, making it a self-reliant budget.

The Delhi BJP President stated that this budget of the BJP government is for a developed Delhi, with more than 31% — i.e., ₹32,360 crore— dedicated to the maintenance and development of education and health services.

In any nation’s capital, transport and urban development are two very important aspects, and inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s principles, the Rekha Gupta government has laid the foundation for Delhi 2047 by allocating 23.32% of the budget estimate to these sectors.

The Delhi BJP President said that by allocating ₹1,777 crore for better maintenance of the agricultural sector and rapidly urbanizing villages in Delhi, along with ₹10,537 crore for social security, the Rekha Gupta government has fulfilled its commitment to “Sarvajan Sukhay, Sarvajan Hitay.”

Having started the distribution of free gas cylinders to needy families during Holi in the financial year 2025–26, the Rekha Gupta government has, in the 2026–27 budget, allocated ₹260 crore for providing gas cylinders to needy families and ₹450 crore for free bus travel for women and transgender persons, reflecting its compassionate governance.

The Delhi BJP President has said that undoubtedly, the second budget of the Rekha Gupta government, which made its first year of service remarkable, will take Delhi to a new horizon
