It looks like Lok Sabha Speaker, Sumitra Mahajan and Rajya Sabha Speaker, Venkaiah Naidu are competing against each other when it comes to adjourning the respective houses.

Lok Sabha started with Sumitra Mahajan reading the list of prominent people who have died recently. She also gave a length reading about renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, who passed away on 14th March 2018. The speaker wished New Year (Ugadi for Telugu People) to the members, and invited them for a special lunch on Monday noon, in the Parliament premises. As soon as she completed her speech, TRS MPs and TDP MPs went near to the speaker podium and started protesting. Sumitra Mahajan immediately adjourned the house till 12:00 noon.
The same is the case even with Venkaiah Naidu, Speaker of Rajya Sabha. Venkaiah Naidu made some key announcements, requesting the members to be patient. After a member started his conversation, Venkaiah Naidu intervened, stating that this is not the way a discussion has to be held and adjourned the house. Rajya Sabha is adjourned until 2:00 pm today.

The adjournment of both the houses is seen as a strategic move from the Centre, in order to suppress the no-confidence motion, opined political analysts.
