The last session of the 13th Kerala Assembly ended on Wednesday with a discordant note.
The Opposition had boycotted the sitting after the Speaker disallowed moving of an adjournment motion, and frequent disruptions of the proceedings by the Opposition had forced the government to cut short the session from 14 days to 11 days. The usual bonhomie of the last sitting was absent.

The Opposition staged noisy protests in the Kerala Assembly, and later boycotted legislative business on Wednesday.
The House saw noisy exchanges and slogan shouting between the Opposition and ruling Front members during consideration of a notice given by the Opposition to move an adjournment motion. The motion sought to discuss the recorded observation of Thrissur Vigilance Court on Tuesday that Oommen Chandy had signed the file relating to the palmolein deal as the then Finance Minister.
