New Delhi: The  Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday began its unique experiment of holding mohalla sabhas to decide the content of the state budget, with three such meetings held in Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s Patparganj constituency. The AAP had earlier earmarked, on a pilot basis, 11 constituencies  for people’s participation in the budget. Rs 50 lakh was allotted for each mohalla, with citizen’s priorities being the framework on which the budget would be built.

The  Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday began its unique experiment of holding mohalla sabhas to decide the content of the state budget, with three such meetings held in Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s Patparganj constituency. The AAP had earlier earmarked, on a pilot basis, 11 constituencies  for people’s participation in the budget. Rs 50 lakh was allotted for each mohalla, with citizen’s priorities being the framework on which the budget would be built.

On Sunday, the three mohalla sabhas for “Janta ka Budget” were held in West Vinod Nagar, then in Sanjay Lake and ending in Mayur Vihar Phase II. Making his presence felt at the first such meeting, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said, “This is our first step towards Swaraj. These mohalla sabhas will be like a parliament, and in this parliament common people will take decisions on how to use their funds. And if it works out, then the project will be implemented in all the constituencies here,” Kejriwal said.

“There will be 400 mohalla sabhas in the city. Politicians have so far misused public money. This your money and you’ll decide where to spend (it)…We will set Delhi as an example for true democracy in our country.”
