Chances of uproar and tussle between the ruling party and the opposition have risen as the second phase of the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/Union-Budget-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Budget Session</a> of Parliament commences on Monday.
The second session is likely to continue till April 6.
During the first phase of the budget session, the opposition parties created ruckus in both the Houses of Parliament -- <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/Union-Budget-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Lok Sabha</a> and Rajya Sabha -- over the Hindenburg report on the Adani group.
On the last day of the first phase of the Budget Session on February 13, the proceedings of the Lok Sabha went on smoothly throughout the day, but the uproar continued in the Rajya Sabha on the last day as well, following which Chairman Jaideep Dhankhar adjourned the House proceedings till March 13.
The relations between the ruling party and the opposition have soured further in the month-long break, which will likely affect the proceedings of Parliament.

In the Rajya Sabha, the opposition parties are preparing to attack the government as well as Vice President and Chairman Dhankhar.
A new political controversy has arisen regarding the appointment of personal staff by Dhankhar in parliamentary committees. Opposition parties have been criticising and are preparing to raise this issue in the Rajya Sabha.
However, Dhankhar has defended his decision by saying that the chairpersons and members of some committees had suggested to him that he should do something to increase the productivity of the committees and make them more effective, and accepting these suggestions, he made the appointments in the committees. These appointments have been made to provide more skilled and trained manpower.
Rejecting the criticism, he said that before deciding on these appointments, extensive consultations were held with the members and chairpersons of the committees.
Dhankhar has also called an all-party meeting on Sunday to appeal to all parties to cooperate in the smooth running of the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha.
