<h1>Karnataka Governor refuses to deliver legislative address over objections to 11 paragraphs about MGNREGA repeal and fund devolution.</h1> Governor refused to deliver the Cabinet-prepared address to the joint legislative session unless 11 paragraphs were deleted; those paragraphs criticised the repeal of MGNREGA and raised funding and relief grievances. The government asserts the address is the Cabinet's declaration of policy and invokes Article 176(1) as mandating that the Governor read the speech prepared by the Cabinet, while indicating willingness to amend objectionable language but not to accept complete deletions.
