In an unprecedented move at Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan concluded the government policy address in the state Assembly by reading only the last paragraph. The brief address, which marked the beginning of the Kerala Assembly budget session, lasted less than two minutes. This unusual step has sparked controversy and criticism from the Congress and the United Democratic Front (UDF), who have called it a mockery of democracy. Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala expressed surprise at the Governor's actions. The budget session, scheduled to last for 32 days until March 27th, will include the presentation of the Kerala Budget 2024-25 by Finance Minister K N Balagopal on February 5th. The Governor's actions have also raised questions about his reported ongoing tussle with the Chief Minister and the state government.
