Stormy start to Budget session of Lok Sabha


New Delhi (PTI): The Budget session of Lok Sabha got off on a stormy note on Thursday

with members of BJP, Samajwadi Party and Left parties forcing two brief adjournments

during Question Hour by creating uproar over the hike in petrol and diesel prices.

Soon after the House met, MPs from SP and Left parties were on their feet to protest

against the hike in petrol and diesel prices announced on Wednesday.

BJP and Shiv Sena members too lent their support, raising slogans and accusing the

government of being anti-farmer. They said the increase in diesel prices would hit the

farmers.
