On January 6, announcing the date of Delhi legislative assembly elections, the Election Commission had stressed that the Centre will not declare any “state-specific schemes” in the national Budget, as the city is going to polls on February 8.

However, Kejriwal had demanded that the Centre should announce a lot of things for the city in the Budget.

The city government has also been demanding more funds from the Centre for the MCD.
