The second part of the session was reconvened from 10 May rd to 23 May, 2006. % As per the original schedule of the Budget Session, 2011, both the Houses were to adjourn for recess on Wednesday the 16th March, 2011 to reassemble on Monday, the 4th April, 2011 and to conclude on Thursday, the 21st April, 2011. Since the Election Commission announced dates of elections to the five State Legislative Assemblies viz. (i) Tamil Nadu (ii) Kerala (iii) Puducherry (iv) Assam and (v) West Bengal, leaders of various political parties/groups in Parliament demanded that the Budget Session be re-scheduled to enable them to participate in the election campaign. Accordingly, it was mutually agreed between Opposition and Government th to reschedule the Budget Session, 2011 of Parliament to conclude on Friday, the 25 March, 2011 after completing all the essential financial business. The revised schedule provided a total of 23 sittings as against 29 sittings scheduled earlier. Therefore, no recess was held and Houses were adjourned sine-die on 25.3.2011.
