The second part of Budget Session of Parliament appears set to be a washout with the Opposition unrelenting on its demand for resignation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as also ministers P K Bansal and Ashwani Kumar. With the uproar continuing on the issue, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned without transacting any business for the tenth day.

Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjournment twice before lunch.

Uproarious scenes were witnessed in the Lok Sabha soon after Speaker Meira Kumar read out the obituary reference to former member Chandramani Tripathi. She was forced to give a go bye to the Question Hour and adjourn the House till noon. Similar scenes were witnessed when the Lok Sabha re-convened at 1:00 p.m. and Sardinha, who was in the chair, adjourned the House till tomorrow.

In the Rajya Sabha, which reconvened at 2 PM, Deputy Chairman P J Kurien tried to take up a short duration discussion on atrocities on women. But as Opposition was unrelenting, he adjourned the proceedings till tomorrow.

As only three days are left for the three-month long session to conclude, the fate of key legislations like National Food Security Bill and Land Acquisition Bill remains uncertain. Opposition maintained that it was ready for early passage of the two legislations provided the government ensures resignation of Bansal and Kumar. The only work done in the second phase was the passage of the Finance Bill, which marked the end of the budgetary exercise and the Railway Budget without any discussion with the opposition walking out.
