Angry CM flings copy of budget inside assembly

July 24, 2015 20:08

Angry with repeated disruptions in the assembly, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah flung a copy of the budget into the well of the House today. The ruling Congress and opposition, the Bharatiya Janata Party were involved in heated arguments over the alleged cut in funding of centrally sponsored schemes.

Trouble began when the chief minister said that the government has not been able to achieve 100 per cent spending of total budget plan due to alleged reduction of Rs 4,690 crore in grants from the Centre.

The BJP members objected to it, accusing the chief minister of giving wrong information, which led to a war of words from both sides.
