The DMK and its allies the Congress and a lone IUML member Wednesday boycotted the customary address of Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit on the opening day of the first Assembly session of the year by staging a walkout.
As the governor began his address saying 'Vanakkam' and gave a message to the members of the House stressing on 'simple living,' Stalin stood up trying to say something.
Though Purohit urged Stalin to resume his seat, saying "with folded hands I request you," the Leader of Opposition continued to speak on issues like the circumstances surrounding the death of late chief minister J Jayalalithaa which could not be heard properly.
The governor after telling Stalin that he and the other members could discuss issues later, continued with his address to the House.
A smiling Stalin led the walkout of his party members and those from the Congress and the IUML.
