Despite assurance by the Minister to provide assistance and supply of fodder, the members continued to raise slogans. Congress members continued with the slogan shouting even though Speaker Dhirubhai Shah switched over to the other business on the agenda. The Speaker ordered the sergeant to take Congress member Kumansinh Chauhan out of the House as despite his repeated requests, the member went on arguing with the Revenue Minister.

The Opposition members then rushed to well of the House and shouted slogans which led the Speaker to adjourn the House for ten minutes. When the house reassembled, Congress members continued to thump desks and shouted slogans over the issue of removal of Chauhan, forcing the Speaker to adjourn the House for the second time.
