For the time being, government is busy in back channel negotiations with Congress to get its support. Once Congress chief Sonia Gandhi is back from the US, there will be more clarity on the main opposition's stand.

You are right Giri.
Government is also in mood to go ahead with these bills in the coming week only if it gets the green signal of their passage.

Yes, Government has managed to take the opposition on board for listing the important Goods and Services Tax Bill for discussion and passage in the Rajya Sabha though a unity on the proposed legislation is still in the works.
