Meanwhile, Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram ruled out all speculations regarding threats to the Central government. Chidambaram said, "Let me assure everyone that the government is absolutely stable and enjoys a majority in the Lok Sabha."

"The DMK leader has said he will review ohis decision if we pass a resolution in the house. We have taken note of that also. However at this point, the government is stable, the government will continue, and the government has a majority in the house," added Chidambaram.
