Kejriwal government passes 'Rozgaar Budget', focuses on employment
New Delhi, March 29: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that the Delhi budget is the country's first 'Rozgaar Budget' with employment as the central focus.
Speaking to the media on Tuesday Kejriwal said, "Employment used to be the issue that was only discussed during election campaigns, after that nobody used to address that issue. For the first time since independence, a budget has been made keeping employment as its central focus."
"Ours is independent India's first 'Rozgaar Budget'. Educated youth are still struggling for jobs and in the last few years, demonetization, GST and pandemic have worsened the job scenario," he added.
Targeting the central government, the Delhi CM said, "They hindered 'Mohalla clinic' files, then they restricted the files on CCTVs but somehow we got them passed. For the last 25 years, governments were meant to delay and hinder the work. For the first time, there's a government that believes in working for people."

"Some governments passed anti-begging acts as they lacked humanity. But, in this budget, we have decided to make boarding schools worth Rs 10 crore for vagrant children who beg and dance at traffic signals, where all of their needs will be taken care of," the AAP leader continued.
Rs 10 crore has been set aside in the Delhi Budget for 2022-23 for the rehabilitation of children living on the road and traffic signals.
Following the budget session on Tuesday, AAP's national convenor stated that the party's ideology is built on three pillars: "love for country," "honesty," and "humanity."
Sisodia, the Delhi Finance Minister, has already presented a budget of Rs 75,800 crore for the fiscal year 2022-23. Last year, he provided a budget of Rs 69,000 crore.
