House session to commence from January 23

The session which is likely to last for five days, would begin with the customary Governor’s address followed by the Assembly condoling the death of late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa. From the third day, normal business would be transacted till the session ended.  

This will be Chief Minister O Panneerselvam’s first Assemblysession as full-fledged Chief Minister. It remains to be seen how he would handle an Opposition led by a rejuvenated MK Stalin as the DMK’s new working president. Farmer suicides, drought and the State government’s approach to jallikattu are likely to figure in the debates.
