Lok Sabha adjourned till Monday. Which means not a single day of work for our elected representatives since the monsoon session began on Tuesday.

In the Rajya Sabha, Mr Lalit Modi is the cause of ruckus, interspersed with pleas of 'please, please' from the chairperson.  And the house is adjourned till noon.

Congress members have stalled both houses over the last three days demanding the resignation of external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj, Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje and Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

While Swaraj and Raje are under fire for helping tainted former IPL chief Lalit Modi, who faces an Enforcement Department probe for alleged money laundering and forex violations, Chouhan is under pressure to quit over the Vyapam admission and recruitment scandal.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has said there should be 'resignations first and discussions later', but the party would be hampered by differences in opposition ranks as it looks to prolong its fight.
