Bengaluru: Amidst the row over RDPR Minister K.S. Eswharappa’s controversial remarks against which the Opposition Congress staged day and night dharna inside the Assembly for five days demanding the Minister’s sacking, the Legislature Session on Tuesday was adjourned three days before the scheduled date (Feb.25). Following the adjournment, both the Houses would meet again for the Budget session starting on Mar.4, the day on which Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who also holds the Finance portfolio, would table the State budget.
Assembly Speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri said that the State Legislative Assembly functioned properly only on two days and five days were lost due to dharna by Congress members seeking the resignation of Eshwarappa for his reported remarks that the saffron flag could in future fly in place of the Tricolor at Red Fort.
