Kerala Assembly witnesses chaos as KM Mani tables state budget, 1 LDF member dies

Thiruvananthapuram, Mar 13 (IBNS): While the Kerala Assembly on Friday witnessed unruly scenes as state Finance Minister KM Mani tabled the state Budget amid high protests, a Left Democratic Front supporter died of heart attack outside the house.

According to reports, the LDF supporter died of heart attack during the police crack down on the protesting group outside the Assembly.

Ruling United Democratic Front and Opposition LDF MLAs almost came to blows, pushed and shoved each other inside the house.

CPM-led Left Democratic Front MLAs were seen throwing away the Speakers's Chair while attempting to break the same.

Four LDF MLAs were injured in the incident.

However, the Opposition continued with their protests.

Mani and the Speaker were reportedly given a separate spot in the Assembly which is being heavily guarded.

Opposition leaders also rushed to the well of the House refusing to allow Mani from presenting the Budget.

They alleged that Mani accepted a bribe of Rs 1 crore to renew licences of bars that were shut down by the administration.

Protests also erupted outside the Kerala Assembly.
