Summary:
Kumaraswamy on Friday presented the state budget for fiscal 2019-20 despite protest and walkout by the opposition BJP members from the Assembly here. Ignoring the protests, Kumaraswamy continued reading the budget speech, as BJP members led by their leader B.S.Y. HD Kumaraswamy wins floor test with ease. Unfazed by the Bharatiya Janata Party’s ruckus over the continuation of his eight-month-old JD-S-Congress coalition, Kumaraswamy read the budget proposals in Kannada after Speaker K.R. Following the practice in the Lok Sabha, copies of the state budget were not distributed to the members either in Kannada or English till Kumaraswamy completed the budget speech..
