Karnataka Governor walks out of joint legislature session after two-line address, CM Siddaramaiah calls him 'Centre's puppet'
Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot left the Karnataka Legislature on January 22, 2026 after delivering a brief address that CM Siddaramaiah condemned as a violation of the constitution. Siddaramaiah stated that Gehlot read a speech prepared by the central government and not one prepared by the cabinet, which was in opposition to the new VB-G RAM G Act. This incident follows similar actions by governors in Tamil Nadu and Kerala who also walked out or omitted portions of their speeches.
