NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Delhi, back in power after nearly three decades in the opposition, is looking for "bullet speed" development, CM Rekha Gupta said on Tuesday, stating that her government's emphasis will be on smooth roads and enhanced connectivity with other cities in the NCR.

Sharing budget outlays for the 2025-26 fiscal, Gupta said unlike the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) regime that only "sold dreams", her government will work on the ground for large infrastructure development, and improve basic civic amenities.

"Our aim is that this budget will not only talk about infrastructure, but will also lay a strong foundation for a developed Delhi. Smart infrastructure, smooth roads and seamless connectivity—these will now be the identity of New Delhi. Now there will not be only talk of traffic jams in Delhi, there will be the reality of bullet speed development," Gupta, who also holds the finance portfolio, said.
