What is the role of the opposition party in the process of approving the state's budget?
The role of the opposition party in the process of approving the state's budget is to discuss and scrutinize the estimates related to other expenditure, which are submitted as demands for grants. They have the power to assent or refuse to assent to any demand, or to assent subject to a reduction of the amount specified therein. Additionally, they can introduce a Bill to provide for the appropriation out of the Consolidated Fund of the State of all moneys required to meet these expenditures, as long as it does not exceed the amount shown in the statement previously laid before the House or Houses.
