All these things cannot be done just by sitting in air-conditioned rooms and by holding press conferences. We have been working as a team since morning to check the outlets of the drains to ensure that the people of Delhi do not have to face problems like waterlogging. Our aim is the welfare of the people,”, she told reporters on Sunday.

We called the farmers from every corner of Delhi to consult about the budget. They have shared their suggestions with us,” Gupta said.
She noted that in the last 15-20 years, villages in Delhi saw little development, leading to heightened expectations from the newly formed Delhi government.
“We called the farmers from every corner of Delhi to consult about the budget. They have shared their suggestion with us,” Gupta said.
