Chennai, Jan 9 : The first day of the Tamil Nadu legislation in 2023 turned acrimonious after the allies of the ruling DMK, including Congress and VCK shouted slogans against Governor R.N.Ravi and later walked out of the House.
The members shouted slogans like, ‘Long Live Tamil Nadu’, and ‘Condemn Governor’.
The members were sore at the Governor after he recently called Tamil Nadu as ‘Tamizhagam’ and this issue has been raging in the state for the past few days.They questioned his right to suggest a different name for the state and accused him of unnecessarily interfering in state politics.
The MDMK and CPI(M) members also shouted slogans against the Governor.They also said that the Governor was responsible for the suicide deaths of people due to losses in online gambling as he had not given assent to the bill passed by the Assembly against online gaming.

The Governor in his customary address during the first day of the session of 2023 skipped the 65th paragraph of his speech that mentioned the Dravidian model of Governance as well as the Dravidian leaders.
