    "content": " Hon. Muge, let me draw your attention to this issue. What we are looking at is a Supplementary Budget; it is not the main budget. We have less than three months to the end of the financial year. In the Supplementary Budget, we look for money that is not going to be spent before the end of the financial year, so that it can be re-appropriated elsewhere. We also check if there are other people who have mission-critical programmes that will be stuck and need the money as an intervention. So, a Supplementary Budget is just a band- aid; it is not the main budget. So, anything that has been reduced is money that is not required between now and June. I think what we should pay keen attention to is whether there will be an increase in the actual main budget. So, let us not worry about the Supplementary Budget. We will clearly see that there is no reduction in the main budget. It just means that they were not going to be able to spend this money before the end of the financial year. Those who have been given are probably State corporations that have pending bills and they have been sued and are worried about having interest. So, this it is a rescue mission. So, a Supplementary Budget is just that; it is not the main budget. Furthermore, I of all people, would not have sat in that Committee and allowed money to be reduced from gender."
