Row over speech critical of Centre: Now, Karnataka sees governorgovt showdown; Siddaramaiah stands firm on MGNREGA

Karnataka's Governor Thaawar Chand Gehlot has reportedly refused to deliver his customary address to the legislature unless portions critical of the Centre are removed. The state government has rejected this demand, insisting the speech reflects cabinet-approved concerns about perceived injustice from the Union government. This standoff mirrors similar disputes in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
