The budget session of the Kerala Legislative Assembly got off to an arguably ominous start on Friday with Kerala Governor Arif Muhammad Khan upbraiding the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) opposition for attempting to disrupt his policy address for the next fiscal. The UDF boycotted the session midway through the governor's speech.
The opposition greeted Mr. Khan with shouts of "Governor go back" even as the police brass band rendered a shrill fanfare to announce his arrival in the House,
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Speaker M. B Rajesh escorted Mr. Khan.
