<p>The State Budget 2012-13 will be presented in the second week of March, said Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda at Bilagi on Wednesday. <br /><br /></p>.<p>He told mediapersons that priority would be accorded to irrigation and agriculture. The stage III of the Upper Krishna project would be completed in six years in a phased manner, without violating the award of the Krishna Water Tribunal, he said in reply to a query. <br /><br />The chief minister, who was in the town to launch various development works, waited for more than an hour for former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa’s arrival at a college. <br /><br />The two ministers from the district, Govind Karjol and Murugesh Nirani, were absent as they were accompanying Yeddyurappa. Reacting to the campaign by B B Shivappa and other members of the BJP from north Karnataka demanding his removal, Yeddyurappa sarcastically said: “The suggestion is worth considering. Let the State party unit chief K S Eshwarappa and the chief minister decide.”</p>
