Prime minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday met the Yadav trio - RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and Sharad yadav of JD-U - and tried to convince them to support the the women's reservation bill .
The bill was torn to shreds and its pieces thrown at Rajya Sabha chairperson Hamid Ansari's face by their supporters on Monday.
In fact right from 1996, when the bill was introduced, the troika has opposed it tooth and nail.
The UPA government would not like to commit any mistake for if it pushes the bill on Tuesday, it stands to lose crucial allies and jeopardise the passage of the national budget immediately afterwards.
