I love that they included school students and the transgender community in the Kheer Ceremony. It shows an effort towards inclusive governance. The vision sounds great, but as a mother, I just want to see better government schools and safer parks for my children.

"Viksit Delhi, Harit Delhi" – another catchy slogan. We hear this every budget session. The real test is on the ground. Can they fix the waterlogging in my colony every monsoon? Can they ensure 24x7 power without surges? That's the development we need.

The traditional turban presentation by the farmers is a beautiful gesture. It connects modern governance with our roots. Hoping the budget has concrete plans for supporting farmers in the Delhi region and ensuring clean, local produce for the city.

Infrastructure and health sector strength are mentioned, which is crucial. But Delhi's biggest issue is traffic and public transport last-mile connectivity. Hope the budget details a clear plan for expanding the metro and decongesting roads. 🚇

With respect to the CM's vision, I hope this budget is more than just announcements. The last budget had many schemes for women's safety, but incidents haven't reduced. We need visible policing and faster courts, not just words in a speech.
