Bhatt alleged that Rawat as Horticulture Minister misused her post while giving away subsidies to her MP husband Satpal Maharaj and son Suyash for establishing a polyhouse.
When proceedings started again, the Opposition members rose from their seats and stormed into the well demanding that the matter be probed by the CBI. After 15 minutes of pandemonium, the Speaker again adjourned the House till 3:00 pm.
