Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy presented the 2016-17 budget in the state assembly amidst protests and boycott by opposition Communist Party of India-Marxist-led Left Democratic Front demanding his resignation over solar and bar bribery scams. It was after a 29-year gap that the Kerala assembly saw a CM presenting the state budget.

The LDF members holding banners and placards raised slogans for a while even as an unfazed Chief Minister continued with the budget presentation. After sloganeering, the LDF members marched out of theHouse and boycotted the budget presentation.
