BJP member Shahanawaz Hussain demanded special status for Bihar and JD(U) member Sharad Yadav for development of backward states.

In the Rajya Sabha, Deputy Chairman Prof. P J Kurien was forced to adjourn the House for the third time as pandemonium continued over Telangana and other issues. Samajwadi Party members were in the well to press their demand for inclusion of 17 backward castes into scheduled caste category. Andhra Pradesh members were also in the well showing placards for and against state bifurcation. Prof. Kurien called members to speak on a Calling Attention motion on Tamil fishermen issue but they insisted for the presence of Prime Minister or External Affairs minister to respond. His repeated appeals for normalcy went in vain forcing adjournment. In the melee, Minister of State for External Affairs Praneet Kaur tabled her statement
