Subject committee scrutiny of finance bills sparks assembly boycott over liquor tax policy changes.
Opposition members in the Kerala Assembly objected to the government moving the Finance Bill directly before the House without first referring it to the Subject Committee. The dispute concerned proposed changes to liquor-related tax policy, including amendments to the Kerala GST framework and a substantial reduction in taxes on certain liquor products. The Chief Minister said all legal and procedural requirements had been followed and that there was no legal basis for the objection, after which the Speaker rejected the point of order and the Opposition boycotted the proceedings.
