Kejriwal seeks grant-in-aid for municipal bodies
Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has demanded a "special" grant-in-aid of ₹4,087 crore from the Centre for the city’s municipal bodies. The amount is on par with states in terms of annual per capita allocation, Kejriwal said. This comes after the 14th Central Finance Commission allocated a grant-in-aid of ₹2,87,436 crore for 2015-2020 only to states, omitting Delhi from its purview.
