The TDP and YSR Congress will on Monday make a pitch for taking up their notices of no-confidence motion against the Narendra Modi government when the Lok Sabha meets.
Both the parties had on March 16 tried to move the motion but it could not be taken up amid protests and sloganeering.
Y V Subba Reddy of YSR Congress has written to the Lok Sabha secretariat to put his notice in the revised list of business for Monday while the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) too moved a notice for a no-confidence motion.

Once a no-confidence motion is moved in the Lok Sabha, support of at least 50 members is needed to admit the motion, which is then followed by voting.
The TDP on Friday announced it was quitting the BJP-led NDA and said the party will move a no-confidence motion against the Modi government.
YV Subba Reddy of the YSR Congress Party had announced on Thursday his decision to move a no-confidence motion against the government.
The government has expressed confidence that the notices, even if they are admitted, will be defeated given its strength in the Lok Sabha.
The current strength of the Lok Sabha is 539 and the ruling BJP has 274 members, more than the majority mark of 270, and enjoys the support of several allies.
With the 16-member TDP quitting the BJP-led NDA, the ruling alliance strength has reduced.
