Puducherry, (#thestates.news)   Lt.Governor Kiran Bedi maintained that what Chief Minister V Narayanasamy doing is totally “illegal and Irregular” on presentation of Budget in the Legislative Assembly on Monday.
In an audio clip on Whatsapp, the Lt.Governor said that she told the Chief Minister that it is a serious Omission for not sending her the annual financial statement and demand for grants as required under the provisions of the Government of Union Territories Act 1963.
She said the rule 27(1) of the Annual Finance Statement , clearly says that the administrator of each Union Territory shall in respect of every financial year, was to be laid before the legislative assembly with the previous approval of the President.
A statement of estimate of receipts and expenditure is to be referred with the AFS.” I do not have the budget even in the file, she said, adding that Mr Narayanasamy has not forwarded the budget file approved by the President to the Lt.Governor.
How do I lay it before the legislative assembly when I have not even seen the budget”, she said.
Rule 28(3) says that no demand for a grant shall be made except on the recommendation of the administrator.
So even if you discuss a grant illegally, irregularly, even that required the recommendation of the administrator.
Ms Bedi said ‘the act of the Chief Minister is like asking her to inaugurate a building of which she have no idea. That building cost almost Rs 900 crore and she do not have an idea about it.
I have not seen the plan and asking to forward the plan’, she added. (uni) (#mediasaheb.com)
