"You Made 'Sheeshmahal', We Will...": BJP's Delhi Budget Jab At Arvind Kejriwal | Read
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta fired 'sheeshmahal' jabs - a redux of barbs fired in campaigning for last month's Assembly election - at predecessor Arvind Kejriwal and the opposition Aam Aadmi Party Tuesday, as she presented her government's Rs 1 lakh crore budget for the city for 2025/26.
The reference to allegations Mr Kejriwal misused Rs 45 crore of taxpayers' money to refurbish his former residence - allegations that went a long way towards ensuring the Bharatiya Janata Party won the election - were not the only attacks. She also called him "Delhi's malik (owner)" and said he had promised to "transform it into London", but instead left behind traffic jams and incomplete projects.
