Mumbai: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta assured farmers that all their concerns would be addressed, highlighting that the Central and Delhi governments, as a “double-engine government,” are committed to resolving agricultural issues.
Speaking after a budget consultation with farmers from across the capital, CM Gupta acknowledged that rural areas in Delhi had seen little development over the past 15-20 years. “We called the farmers from every corner of Delhi to consult about the budget. They have shared their suggestions with us,” she said. “They now have high expectations from the new Delhi government, and I assure them that all the issues raised will be resolved.”
