New Delhi:

On Monday, speaker Sumitra Mahajan suspended 25 Congress MPs for Misbehaviour inside Parliament. The Congress on the other hand is accusing BJP and the speaker of partisan behaviour with them. This deadlock is costing so much to Indian taxpayer. Also, the logjam is putting the future of crucial bills in limbo.

A minute in Parliament costs Rs. 29,000, the whole day of work cost almost Rs. 1.5 crores. Yet almost 90 per cent of time has been wasted in Parliament in two weeks.

With Congress Vice-president Rahul Gandhi already making it clear that they will 'not allow' any discussions till the resignations of three leaders- Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan, Sushma Swaraj and Vasundhra Raje- the parliament session is expected to be a reiteration of what happened in UPA’s time in 2012.
