Bangalore: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Janata Dal (JD) Secular (S) legislators in Karnataka today (Jan 19,2006) boycotted the Governor T N Chaturvedi's address to the joint session of the state legislature, contending that the Coalition Government headed by Dharam Singh had lost majority.

However, Chaturvedi went ahead with the address, explaining the schemes undertaken by the government and listing out the priorities of the Coalition Government.

Legislators of Janata Dal (JD) United (U), which was an ally of the BJP in the last assembly polls, however attended the session.
