The passage of Lokpal Bill is delayed further as the Samajwadi Party disrupted the proceedings over price rise.

Though the Opposition was ready for the passage of the Bill even amid din, the Government was not ready for such a move.

Opposition MPs were heard shouting amid the din that there is an understanding between Congress and SP against the Bill's passage. "It's all drama," said CPI(M) MP K.N. Balagopal.

There are also indications that Congress does not want to irk its supporter, SP. The party has been opposing the Lokpal Bill in all the forums.
