As soon as the House met after lunch at 2 PM, Deputy Chairman P J Kurien called Railway Minister Sadananda Gowda to lay the Railway Budget.
While Gowda was laying a copy of the budget, Mistry rose in his seat and later came to aisle waving a newspaper and saying that the Railway Budget speech has been printed before it was presented before Parliament.
Kurien told Mistry that he can give a notice or take it up during discussion on the railway budget for which ten hours have been allotted.

Gowda laid the railway budget amid din after which the Chair adjourned the House for the day.
