Administrative response edit

The Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG), a supreme audit institution and statutory auditor of Government-owned corporations, reported a substantial overspending of Rs 2,88,811 crore between 2014–15 and 2021–22, significantly exceeding the allocated funds by the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) led government. The government's negligence in budget handling became evident by the second year, prompting additional loans and increased interest payments. The CAG pointed at the BRS government for not regularizing the excess expenditure despite discussions in the Public Accounts Committee.[3][4]
