After 22 years, Oommen Chandy to again present state budget
Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 11: It's after 22 long years that Chief Minister Oommen Chandy will on Friday present the state's annual budget.
Chandy last presented the budget in 1994 as the finance minister in K. Karunakaran's cabinet.
On Thursday morning, however, the chief minister was busy defending his government on the assembly floor against a strong onslaught by the Left opposition.
During the presentation of the budget last year, the Kerala assembly witnessed unruly scenes as the opposition members threw the speaker's chair and damaged furniture and fittings in the house, saying they would not allow a "corrupt Mani" to present the budget.
