Opposition MLAs explained their move by claiming that the BJP government in the state had no 'moral right' to continue in power. A visibly agitated CM Yediyurappa said the country has never had a history of the opposition boycotting the Budget. He even asked the media whether have been instances of the opposition staging a walkout either in Parliament or in the state assemblies during the presentation of the Budget.
