Karnataka Governor likely to skip portions of text in his address to State legislature
Thaawarchand Gehlot, Governor of Karnataka, is likely to skip portions of his customary address to the state legislature due to disagreements with the Congress government's speech. The Governor objected to 11 paragraphs criticizing the new "Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act" (VB-G RAM G) Act, which replaced the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). The government has convened a special legislative session to discuss repealing MGNREGA and replacing it with the VB-G RAM G Act. The Governor's decision follows similar actions by R.N. Ravi in Kerala and Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar in Kerala, who both declined to read their customary addresses.
