"We've taken into account expectations and aspirations of Delhi people while preparing this budget. This is a budget for 'aam aadmi'. Through this budget, we want to develop Delhi as a world class skill centre and Indian first corruption free state. "

Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal who sat through the entire speech, later during his interaction with the press, said that the budget was a historical one and added that it must not be seen as an expenditure but as an investment.
