Jammu And Kashmir Opens Up To Tourists After 2-Month-Long Restrictions

The winter session of the Karnataka legislature that begins Thursday is expected to start on a stormy note, with the opposition Congress and JD(S) likely to corner the BJP government on a host of issues, including flood relief. This will be the second session for the BJP government after assuming power, the last one being in July end, where Yediyurappa proved his majority on the floor of the House and Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri was elected the new Speaker.

The government has said the three-day session will primarily focus on discussion on the budget and its passage. Soon after proving his government’s majority on 29 July, Yediyurappa, who also holds the Finance portfolio, had sought a vote on account for three months — 1 August to 31 October. The Opposition is expected to take on the government, alleging failure in handling flood relief and drought situation in several parts of the state.
