The Kerala Government and the Opposition reportedly clashed over the date of the State Budget presentation for the 2024-25 fiscal year at a crucial meeting of the Assembly’s Business Advisory Committee (BAC) here on January 29 (Monday).
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan reportedly disagreed with Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan’s demand to advance the Budget presentation from February 5 to February 2.
In early January, Mr. Satheesan made the demand in writing to Speaker A.N. Shamseer. Mr Shamsheer is the BAC’s ex officio chairperson.
