Delhi Finance Minister Kailash Gahlot said that t🐎he budget file has been resent to MHA for approval. Gahlot had said that the file had been sent to MHA physically and through email for approval.

The presentation of the Delhi government's Budget for 2023-24, scheduled for Tuesday, has been put on hold with the Kejriwal-led dispensation and the central government trading charges over allocations 💖under various heads.

In his letter, Kejriwal said: "This is the first in the last 75 years that a state's budget has been stalled. Why are you upset with Delhiites? Please don't stall Delhi's budget. With folded hands, Delhiites urge you to pass their budget.﷽"
