Coalgate heat on Congress

Proceedings were washed out for the third consecutive day in the Rajya Sabha as the BJP created uproar on the coalgate issue demanding resignation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and dismissal of Law Minister Ashwani Kumar.

Lok Sabha, which did not transact any business during the last two working days (Monday and Tuesday) on the coal block allocation and 2G spectrum issues, was adjourned for the day today as a mark of respect to sitting Trinamool Congress member Ambica Banerjee who died this morning.
