Amidst the nataka in Karnataka, Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy presented the budget for 2019-2020. The BJP staged a walkout from the assembly as the budget was being presented. Tensions were in the air as the budget was presented after an explosive press conference by HD Kumaraswamy where he released a tape purportedly containing the voice of BS Yeddurappa, HDK claims that in the audio Yeddyurappa can be heard luring the son of an MLA from JD(S), Naganagouda to entice his father to join BJP. Meanwhile, BJP has called the tape completely 'fake' and concocted.
