As Karnataka CM readies to present budget, Congressmen attend Assembly wearing flowers on ears
Bengaluru: Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah and Congress leaders attended the Assembly session on Friday, when Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai was to present the budget for the next financial year, wearing flowers on their ears, allegedly symbolizing the failure of the government to fulfil promises.
The Congress members said that the BJP government has failed to fulfil the promises made in the 2018 manifesto and last year’s budget.
In response to the Congress members’ move, the chief minister said, “The Opposition leaders had been placing flowers on the ears of the people so far; this year, however, we will watch the citizens placing flowers on the ears of the Congress members.”
This led to a minor verbal duel between the ruling and Opposition party members, after which, the chief minister presented the budget.
