"Let Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi issue a statement (indicating support), they (DMK) are in alliance with them (Congress). only if they (Congress) support, we will get the (requisite) numbers", he said. Amid din, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar squarely blamed the principal opposition Congress for the ruckus in the House and said the government is "keenly waiting" for the debate on No Confidence motion. As the ruckus continued, the House was adjourned.

Several opposition parties are stalling the proceedings in the parliament over a number of issues ranging from Cauvery river water to Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam.

The proceedings of the Lok Sabha were washed out on Monday yet again as the House could not take up the No Confidence Motion against the Narendra Modi government due to continuous uproarious scenes. Speaker Sumitra Mahajan adjourned the House in five minutes after she took up the no-trust motion moved by various Opposition parties.

When the House met again, protest by AIADMK MPs continued.

Soon after the House met, AIADMK, TDP and other opposition members, including those from Congress, began raising slogans.

The TDP is demanding special status to Andhra Pradesh while the AIADMK members are asking for constitution of the CMB to manage water distribution between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

Moreover, the Central government has requested the Supreme Court to give some more time for constitution of the Cauvery Water Management Board.

While the TMC members were seated in their places, those of the TDP, which has moved a notice of no confidence against the government, were standing at their seats with black ribbons pinned to their shirts as a mark of protest.

After the customary tabling of the papers, Mahajan said 10 MPs from Opposition parties have given notices on no-confidence motion.

Speaker Sumitra Mahajan was also seen appealing to the AIADMK members to return to their seats, saying she can not take up the no- confidence motion unless the House is in order. "Please go back to your seats. I am not in a position to count", she said.

In Rajya Sabha, while Congress MPs raised slogans against the "anti-Dalit" government, AIADMK continued to protest on the Cauvery issue.
