The Lok Sabha could not take up the no-confidence motions against the NDA government yet again on Monday, and adjourned for the day minutes after noon.
Speaker Sumitra Mahajan said she had received notices on no-confidence from Thota Narasimham (TDP), Jaidev Galla (TDP) and Y.V. Subba Reddy (YSR Congress Party) but that the House should be in order for these to be taken up.
Members from the AIADMK and Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) had been protesting with placards in the Well of the House, demanding a Cauvery Management Board and increase in reservation, respectively.
Congress, CPI (M), Samajwadi Party and All-India Trinamool Congress members -- who were sitting till then -- stood up protesting the decision not to take up the no-confidence motions.
Speaker Sumitra Mahajan said the House needed to be in order and adjourned the House amid slogans.
Earlier, just after noon, Home Minister Rajnath Singh had requested the cooperation of the members so that there could be a discussion on the no-confidence motion.
Rajya Sabha adjourned too
In Rajya Sabha, members from Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh disrupted proceedings over their State specific demands.
Andhra parties led by the TDP, and KVP Ramachandra Rao of the Congress trooped in the Well shouting slogans for special status for the state while Tamil Nadu parties - DMK and AIADMK- sought the constitution of the Cauvery Management Board.
Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu repeatedly asked members to allow the House to function and called for taking up listed zero hour mentions of issues of public importance.
“This is not in the interest of the country, this is not in the interest of Parliament,” he said asking members to allow the House to function.
But with members refusing to budge from their positions in the Well, he adjourned the House till Tuesday within 10 minutes of the commence of proceedings.
Since March 5, when Parliament had reassembled for the budget session after recess, the Lok Sabha has seen disruptions on a daily basis.
Amid noisy protests, the House had passed the Finance Bill and the appropriation bills last week without any discussion.
