The opposition BJP, which later said that it would vociferously raise water and power crisis issues during the session was, however, quiet and did not disrupt the Governor's address. Leader of Opposition in the Assembly V K Malhotra told reporters that the address was "lacklusture" and said it did not mention about the water and power crisis in the city which has made lives of the people miserable. Before the address began, leaders from Congress and the opposition exchanged pleasantries and Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and her ministerial colleagues went to the opposition benches to greet members on the other side.
