Speaker K G Bopaiah adjourned the House sine die,ending the session that was scheduled to last for 20 days. Even as the Opposition boycotted the House,the ruling BJP passed a few Bills.
Like in the past four days,the Assembly opened on Thursday to demands from the Congress and the JDS for an immediate discussion on the land deals of the Chief Minister and his family. When the proposal was turned down by the Speaker,the Opposition staged a walkout and held a protest outside the House.
