In Karnataka, eight days Budget session will commence today with Governor Vajubhai Vala addressing the joint sitting of the legislature. Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy will present the state budget on February 8th.
Karnataka Government Chief Whip Ganesh Hukkeri has issued whip to all ruling party legislators of Congress and JD(S) to attend the Budget session from February 6th to 15th.
Meanwhile, the Ramnagara police have sought permission from the Assembly Speaker Ramesh Kumar to arrest Kampli Congress MLA Ganesh who is facing an FIR for assaulting fellow MLA Anand Singh during their stay in a resort.
The session derives importance in the background of both BJP and Congress making claims that disgruntled MLAs from each side may cross over while voting on the Finance Bill.
