NEW DELHI: Deputy Chief Minister
Manish Sisodia on Friday met Union Finance Minister
Nirmala Sitharaman and demanded
Delhi's share in
central taxes, which he said would help speed up cleaning the Yamuna and make arrangements for sufficient electricity and water supply in the city.
Taking to
Twitter, Sisodia, who also holds the finance portfolio in the
AAP government, said Delhi has not been given any share in central taxes since 2001.
In the meeting, he also demanded funds for all the three municipal corporations in Delhi, the same way as Centre gives money to civic bodies in other states.
