Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa's Challenge To Congress: Don't Call Me Yediyurappa If

Dear Siddaramaiah, your stay in the opposition forever is guaranteed, he said (File)

The Congress on Monday staged a walkout in the Karnataka Assembly during the tabling of budget for 2021-22 by Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, prompting a strong reaction from the CM who claimed the country never had a history of opposition boycotting the budget.

The Congress members had walked out of the House, claiming that the government in the state had no moral right to continue in power.

"Do we have any instance of opposition staging a walkout either in the Centre or the state during the presentation of the budget?" Mr Yediyurappa asked, while speaking to reporters after budget presentation.
