2/ We are yet to have clarity on the election cost—EC estimated it at 10B rupees but requested 6B. The police have requested higher than the estimates. I've asked the Finance Ministry to study them and submit an accurate budget, as we can't afford ad hoc payments right now. — PolitiTweet.org

1/ We are facing an economic crisis, and we need to plan our spending carefully. Budgets are made for the whole year, so we can't release funds on an ad hoc basis. We have to keep a reserve in case the IMF funds for which we are negotiating aren't received in March as expected. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ As we do not have all the necessary funds, we have to prioritise disbursements. We have allocated 20b to distribute rice to 2.8m families, pensions for retirees & relief for small businesses facing bankruptcy. Parliament can Inform me if they want these payments delayed. — PolitiTweet.org
