Sengottaiyan skipped the meeting of party MLAs ahead of the budget session on Friday morning, raising eyebrows. When EPS and other MLAs of the AIADMK were on their feet raising slogans against the government as Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu began his budget speech on Friday, Sengottaiyan remained seated. Later when the MLAs staged a walkout, a tinge of reluctance was palpable in the way Sengottaiyan walked out.
