Arvind Kejriwal alleges central government has put Delhi budget on hold

Just a day before the Delhi budget was about to be tabled in the state assembly, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed that the Centre has put on hold the presentation of the budget.

The Aam Aadmi Party released a video of Kejriwal speaking at a TV programme on Monday, in which the Delhi chief minister claimed that the budget won't be tabled on Tuesday.

He alleged that the central government was resorting to "gundagardi" and that it was the first time in the history of the country that a government's budget was put on hold.

Sources in the Delhi government also said that the Ministry of Home Affairs had stopped the Kejriwal government's budget and it wouldn't be be tabled in the Delhi Assembly on Tuesday.
