Advani tried to intervene on his own to break the ice after 14 days of almost no business in both Houses. "I have sought time from the leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Ghulam Nabi Azad. I will also meet leaders of the TDP, AIADMK and the TRS, who are protesting in the House, to break the deadlock. This was after Advani had personally reached out to protesting Telangana Rashtra Samiti members and even met Speaker Sumitra Mahajan. After this Advani went to meet the Speaker and urged her to talk to the government to find a solution.
