Speaking to CNBC-TV18 at the sidelines of Network-18's Think India Dialogue, he says, "I am personally not in favour of any increase in the subsidy burden as subsidy is not a part of planned expenditure. So, it is for the finance ministry to decide that. However, I don't think there has been any specific proposal. If there is a proposal, the government will definitely take a look at it."
