As the proceedings began, Assembly Speaker M Appavu requested the Governor to follow established constitutional norms and restrict himself to reading the customary address approved by the elected state government.

The incident disrupted the opening day of the session and drew sharp reactions from the ruling benches, highlighting the continuing constitutional and procedural disagreements between Raj Bhavan and the state government.
