What happens when our politicians do not agree? They debate for starters, then argue, then if no solution is found by either of the parties, they pull each other's hair out. Well, that's the sane part of it. For the insane, check out this gallery.Pandemonium prevailed in the Orissa Assembly on December 14, 2010 as the Congress MLAs went on shouting anti-Government slogans and demanded Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik's resignation on the Vedanta issue. They even tried to climb onto the Speaker Pradip Kumar Amat's podium to force an adjournment over the High Court verdict on Vedanta University land acquisition deal. Rajendra Kumar Chhatria, the Congress MLA from Kuchinda, managed to climb onto the podium after he along with two party members scuffled with the security staff in the assembly.

3) The 'new low' keeps going lower, but the point is that this is how democracy 'works' - not by discussing issues or raising points, but by tearing clothes, hurtling abuses and flower pots (not necessarily in this order), punching opposition members and using the Assembly as a 'living' in centre.
4) On July 12, MLAs belonging to the Congress and the JD(S) made a tamasha of the Assembly by spending three nights in the House having biriyani, singing songs and sleeping on the floor. Their demand? Handing over the illegal mining scandal involving the Reddy brothers to the CBI. Congress and JD(S) MLAs, who do not share the same political ideology, were found sleeping together. Politics, after all, is a story of strange bedfellow.
