“The Business Advisory Committee will decide how many days the session should be held for. Though I have pain in my knee, I had meetings with several departments today. I came to Vidhana Soudha, leaders came and they gave me their opinions. We’ll keep all their demands in mind and consider them accordingly. The state government is pro-farmers”, he said.

Ahead of the Budget session the verbal battles between the Congress and BJP has increased. Opposition leader in the Assembly, R Ashoka, had alleged that Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar was doing the rounds of the city inspecting projects were only for photoshoots and nothing was genuine about it.

Replying to Ashoka, Shivakumar targeted the BJP MLA and stated that he used to accompany BJP CMs when they used to conduct rounds of the city and inspect projects. He added that it is important to inspect developmental projects due to their Budget and also ensure that they are done popularly.

Shivakumar added that these all allegations are just attempts at grabbing attention. (ANI)
