- In the body, you can either agree or disagree with the view. As in the above-cited article, you can disagree with the view by mention the issues such as-duplicity of role with FRBM, issue of lack of demand from accountability, issue of interference with the role of Finance Ministry, issue of overlapping function with CAG as a watchdog etc.
- Conclude by suggesting the provision of appointment of an ad-hoc committee by CAG before the budget with the mandate of scrutinising the budget.
