He then said that the government will shortly approve the budget in the Cabinet and regarding that new orders will be issued.

Meanwhile, the Yediyurappa-led Karnataka government has issued a notice to cancel Tipu Jayanti celebrations. The BJP had earlier opposed the celebrations that were initiated by the Congress government, and held protests.
