CM’s speech
As soon as Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy wound up his speech on the resolution condoling the death of former Chief Minister R.V. Janakiraman, AIADMK floor leader A. Anbazhagan was on his feet questioning the necessity to convene the House when the budget session was set to begin in the first week of August. He said even the list of business (issues to be taken up for discussion) for the special session was given on Sunday night.
The members did not get enough time to prepare to speak on the subjects listed, he added. He tore the list of business papers and led the Opposition members, staging a walkout.
