The events culminated in the suspension of DMK member Deivalingam for three months by Mayor S Soundappan.
Trouble erupted when Deivalingam intervened Deputy Mayor Natesan who was praising Jayalaithaa as "makkal mudalvar" (people's Chief Minister), and schemes launched by her.
Deivalingam took objection to the speech and referred to Jayalalithaa's conviction in a corruption case. DMK floor leader Bhuvaneswari also supported him.

Mayor Soundappan announced that Deivalingam was suspended for three months for interrupting the speech of the Deputy Mayor.
