New Delhi: The last full budget of the Narendra Modi government was passed on Wednesday without discussion, approved by voice vote in barely 30 minutes amid pandemonium in the Lok Sabha.

Speaker Sumitra Mahajan applied guillotine amid cries of "No, No" from agitated Opposition members in the well of the House, drawing charges from the Congress that the government was out to stifle parliamentary democracy for its political convenience. A guillotine allows demands for grants to be put to vote at once, whether they have been discussed or not.

The tearing hurry with which the government wrapped up the financial business - getting the Finance Bill, appropriation bills and the fourth supplementary budget for the current fiscal cleared within half-an-hour - fuelled speculation about a plan to wind up the budget session by this Friday, weeks before its scheduled close on April 6.

The curtailment will help the government escape the negative publicity on issues like Nirav Modi banking scam, the Rafale aircraft deal and farmers' plight.

Speaker Mahajan, too, offered a helping hand - the government had asked for the guillotine at 5pm on Wednesday but she ordered it applied at noon.

Parliament is in turmoil because of multiple reasons. While the Opposition has demanded a debate on the banking scam, BJP allies have created a ruckus over issues related to Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. No business has been possible since the start of the session on March 5.

On Wednesday, all cut motions moved by the Opposition were clubbed and rejected by a single voice vote taken by the Speaker who ran through the list of demands for grants of all ministries that were guillotined. Even the Finance Bill, which contains tax proposals in the budget, was passed in the din without any debate after finance minister Arun Jaitley brought as many as 21 amendments.

The Trinamul Congress walked out just as the Finance Bill was pushed through while the Biju Janata Dal abstained.

Members of the Congress, Left, NCP and other Opposition parties raised slogans in the well.

On Tuesday, Opposition leaders had submitted a memorandum to the Speaker to protest the guillotine plan, pointing out that the House had enough time to debate matters till April 6.

The budget and the related bills are required to be moved in the Rajya Sabha, which has two weeks to approve them. However, with the upper House also rocked by ruckus, the government may move to get the session adjourned as the Constitution allows finance business to go ahead without the Rajya Sabha's approval.

The Congress described Wednesday's passage of the bills as a "black day" and a result of the government's conspiracy to gag Parliament and destroy democracy.

Party MP Jyotiraditya Scindia said the government never tried to break the impasse as it did not want any debate on the Nirav Modi scam. "The Opposition was even prepared to discuss the issue under a calling-attention motion that does not entail voting but the government had problems with the wording of the resolution," Scindia said.
