This report covers the intense constitutional standoff in the Karnataka Assembly after Governor Thawarchand Gehlot staged a walkout during a joint session. The friction arose when the Governor refused to read specific portions of the government-prepared speech, which he reportedly termed as propaganda. Chief Minister Siddharamaiah condemned the move, stating, 'It is the governor's constitutional duty to address the joint session and to read the speech prepared by the elected government.' The Chief Minister further accused the Governor of violating Articles 176 and 163 of the Indian Constitution. Meanwhile, the BJP, led by R. Ashoka, defended the Governor and demanded an apology from the ruling Congress for the conduct of its MLCs, who allegedly gheraoed the Governor. The Congress has countered by claiming the Governor insulted the National Anthem by leaving prematurely. The incident marks a significant escalation in the Governor-versus-Government conflict in the state.
