Punjab Budget session begins amid opposition walkout

Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria addresses a press conference, in Chandigarh on Friday.

The Budget session of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha began on Friday with Governor Gulab Chand Kataria delivering the inaugural address, but proceedings witnessed early disruption as the Opposition staged a walkout while raising objections to the functioning of the State Government.

The 11-day session is expected to see sharp exchanges between the ruling Aam Aadmi Party government and the Opposition over issues such as rising public debt and the law and order situation in the state. The government is set to present its fifth and final Budget before the next Assembly elections.
