1. After Governor’s address yesterday, Budget session gets going today with regular Assembly and Council sessions.
2. In an unprecedented development, the budget session this time began without a Leader of Opposition. The faction-ridden BJP could not select one despite veteran B.S. Yediyurappa vising Delhi to resolve the issue. With two Central observers set to arrive today, there may finally be resolution.
