He said: “It is a mismatch between revenues and expenditures; revenue inflows have been delayed even as committed expenditures have been made. This mismatch has been aggravated by unfunded liabilities of around Rs 3000 crores that have been created by this government.”

Urging the government to immediately release salaries, pension, GP fund and other dues to the employees, pensioners and Contractors; Saroori said there are reports of even regular employees of not being able to get salaries on time.
