“If the government does not agree to the democratic process, there could be trouble in the house,” he said.

“As far as the Rajya Sabha is concerned, the issue has been sorted out. But it seems to be difficult in the Lok Sabha,” said Bansal here.
The minister said the Rajya Sabha is likely to have a short duration discussion on price rise Tuesday.
