Praising the Punjab Budget 2025-26, AAP Punjab President Aman Arora said that this budget will take Punjab forward and make the state prosperous and thriving once again.
Addressing a press conference at the party office along with Cabinet Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO, AAP leaders Neel Garg and Sunny Ahluwalia, Aman Arora stated that no new tax has been levied in the ₹2.36 lakh crore budget. At the same time, revenue has increased by 14% compared to the previous year.
He said that this budget reflects the AAP government's action against drugs and its commitment to eradicating drugs. The budget has allocated ₹110 crore for advanced anti-drone systems to combat cross-border smuggling. Additionally, ₹150 crore has been allocated for Punjab’s first "drug census." Furthermore, ₹125 crore will be spent on improving the '112 emergency' services. For this, the government will purchase 1,674 two-wheelers and four-wheelers, reducing the police response time to just 8 minutes.
