Different from Lok Sabhas which preceded it, the House witnessed as many as 11 expulsions of members, unprecedented in the Parliamentary history.
Another low was the 'cash-for-votes' scam when some BJP members displayed bundles of currency notes in the House alleging they were offered huge sums of money to help the Government secure the trust vote on July 22 last year in the wake of the crisis over the Indo-US nuclear deal.
Besides, it saw an 'expulsion' of a different kind. Speaker Somnath Chatterjee was expelled by the CPI (M) last year after he ‘refused’ to resign from the high office in the wake of the Left parties withdrawing support to the Congress-led coalition.
Chatterjee, the first Left leader to adorn the high office, was also a target of attack from his party prompting him to remark that "this is the worst period of my life".
Incidentally, the Opposition boycotted the Speaker for a day in the House, which was also perhaps an unprecedented development.

Hope the next Lok Sabha will be free of criminals and other bad and uncivilised characters and only civilised people will be elected so that the reputation of Parliament is restored.
The 14th Lok sabha has several firsts 1.enacted laws to sack or benifit idividuals Dr venu/sonia 2shielding of corrupt members/miniters3.contiuas bluffing of govt on nuke issue 4.maximum nos of interruptions 5.paasing of bills including finance bill without even one minut ediscussion 6.repeated resignation threats of the Speaker 7.The PM who could not vote for his own govt on motion of trust 8.Has a PM who was nominated and not elected 8.A member cum cabinate ministe convicted on murder went abscanding 9.more than 2/3 members convicted and several others waiting to be convicted.
IT IS HIGH TIME FOR ELECTION COMMISSION TO SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO PERFORMANCE OF 14TH LOK SABHA AND TAKE IMMEDIATE MEASURES TO INSTILL CONFIDENCE IN THE VOTERS WHO ARE GOING TO ELECT NEXT LOK SABHA. LITTLE HOPE FROM E.C. AS IT HAS BECOME SUBSIDIARY OF RULING PARTY.
IT GOES TO SHOW THAT QUALITY OF OUR POLITICIANS IS GRADUALLY DETERIORATING AND SOON WE WILL HAVE PARLIAMENT AND LEGISLATURES FULL OF CRIMINALS AND CONVICTS. TOO BAD THESE UNSAVOURY PEOPLE HAVE LEARNED HOW TO WIN ELECTIONS AND THEN HOW TO MILK THE COUNTRY AND BECOME BILLIONAIRES OVERNIGHT. TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW. IF THE POWERS WHO CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT DO NOT ACT NOW, THE COUNTRY WILL BE UNLIVABLE FOR THE AAM AADMI AND WE WILL BE ONLY A FOURTH WORLD COUNTRY IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD.
IT GOES TO SHOW THAT QUALITY OF OUR POLITICIANS IS GOING DOWN GRADUALLY. AT THIS RATE, SOON THERE WILL BE ALL THE CRIMINALS AND CONVICTS AND ROWDIES IN THE AUGUST PARLIAMENT. TOO BAD THAT THESE UNSAVOURY PEOPLE HAVE LEARNED HOW TO WIN ELECTIONS AND THEN HOW TO MILK THE SYSTEM AND BECOME MULTI-MILLIONAIRES OVERNIGHT. SOLUTION MIGHT BE HARSH AND UNACCEPTABLE TO MANY PEOPLE, BUT IF WE DO NOT ACT NOW, THE COUNTRY WILL BE UNLIVABLE FOR THE AAM AADMI AND IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD WE WILL BE A FOURTH WORLD COUNTRY.
The ruling coalition and Speaker's arogant attitude has been the root cause of all the troubles in 14th Lok Sabha. Speaker hardly gives equal opportunity to opposition members for raising their burning issues. Anyway its all about a circus
