Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi on Wednesday said honest utilisation of funds would be the key to the success of the union teritorry's budget.
She said in a message to the media that success of the budget also "depends on how we raise and source the untapped resources and resources that are not collected still."
The former IPS officer said "money should be spent only on those in need and not for those who do not need it and it should be for essentials."
The Lt Governor pointed out that "Raj Nivas (office of Lt Governor) would continue to carry out its responsibilities with care and caution as per rules and financial management to ensure that the moneys are spent for what it is meant and not for what is not budgeted or without commensurate resources generated, examined and approved as per the laws and rules."
