New Delhi [India], March 9 : Amid discussions on the Delhi budget, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal addressing the assembly members took a moment to recognize the absence of his colleague, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who has presented the previous nine budgets of the government.

Expressing his hopes for the future, Kejriwal indicated his anticipation for Sisodia's presentation of the eleventh budget next year.

CM Kejriwal said, "Today when we are having a discussion on the budget, I am remembering my younger brother Manish Sisodia. This is the 10th budget of our government. The last 9 budgets were presented by Manish Sisodia and I hope that he will present the 11th budget of our government in this Assembly next year."

CM Kejriwal said, "In his (Manish Sisodia) absence, as acting Finance Minister, Atishi has presented the budget in parliament, and I congratulate her that this budget is very good and it takes into account the needs of all sections of society and all sectors. Whether it is education, health, electricity, water, roads, drainage, everyone's needs have been taken care of in this budget. Whether they are rich or poor, of this caste or that caste, youth or elderly, everyone has been considered in this budget".
