Today a demand may be made to the Union Finance Minister to increase the budget. Apart from this, matters related to VAT will also be discussed. There are many projects going on in Chandigarh which require money. Because the central government has to spend 80 percent of Chandigarh’s share in the metro project.

A separate budget can be demanded from the Center for the Municipal Corporation.
