with the Opposition Congress refusing to budge on its demand for the resignation of three top BJP leaders the first two days of the Monsoon Session of Parliament have been washed out . Will the Houses run on the third day of this session of only 21 days? Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have been facing repeated disruptions and the houses are unable to keep up scheduled business because of Opposition's ruckus in Parliament. Congress MPs on Wednesday shouted slogans, wore black bands and brandished anti-Modi posters, even as they continued their demand for the resignation of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj over the Lalit Modi row. Hitting back at the Congress party, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley slammed the opposition for not allowing a discussion in the House, accusing it of being unprepared. Following the adjournment of both Houses of Parliament for the day on Wednesday, the BJP sought to turn the tables on Congress over corruption, as it came out with a series of allegations against Congress leaders. The ruling party released a video claiming to expose Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat's alleged nexus with the state's liquor mafia. In the video, Rawat's personal secretary was allegedly seen seeking bribe from liquor mafia. Harish Rawat, however, denied all charges. The BJP also hit out at former Arunachal Pradesh chief minister PK Thungon who was convicted in a 1998 corruption case. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress are locked in an all out war over tit-for-tat corruption charges, suggesting that even the third day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament will be a washout.
