On the fifth day of the Parliament Monsoon Session, the Congress Party gave a No-Confidence Motion notice against the NDA government in the Lok Sabha. However, reacting to it YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) MP V Vijayasai Reddy said that there was no need for it and that his party is going to oppose the motion.
"When everything is going good, where is the necessity for No-Confidence Motion? We are going to oppose the Motion," he added. This comes as a major jolt to the Congress party as it was banking on Opposition's support on the matter.
Lok Sabha Speaker approves No-Confidence Motion
Meanwhile, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Wednesday approved the No-Confidence Motion moved by Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi against the Narendra Modi government after a headcount of over 50 MPs as required under the rules. He said the time of the debate will be fixed by him and conveyed to the House.
The Lok Sabha Speaker also asked members supporting the admission of the motion to stand after which INDIA alliance members, including Congress parliamentary party chief Sonia Gandhi and National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah, stood up for a head count. Birla then admitted the motion expressing want of confidence in the Union Council of Ministers.
