Moreover, the government is unwilling to go in for a Constitutional amendment as that would require going back to the Lok Sabha.
There was suspense throughout the day in Rajya Sabha over the Telangana Bill and the timing was shifted from 3 pm to 5 pm, and finally the House was adjourned for the day.
The House saw Secretary General Shumsher K Sheriff being heckled by a TDP member C M Ramesh, who was trying to snatch papers from him related to Telangana bill.
Ramesh and his party colleague, who are opposing the bill, stormed the Well as soon as the House met at noon after the first adjournment on the issue.
There was heckling and even the spectacles of Sheriff were about to fall as Ramesh tried to forcibly take the papers.
Angry at the behaviour of the member, Kurien said, "This is very unfortunate. The Chair should not be attacked. Keep your hands off. What you are doing is very unfortunate."
In the post-lunch sitting four bills were passed but the Telangana bill was not taken up as the House was adjourned for the day amid noisy scenes.
