This was the third time that the motion was entertained due to the din in the House. The Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan could not take up the motions on last Friday or Monday as well.

09:40 am: A former Lok Sabha secretary general said yesterday that din in the House should not be a hurdle in taking up a notice of no-confidence motion against the government. "It is a special motion and the Speaker merely informs the members of the notice. If the motion is in order (the documentation is as per rules), she can go ahead," Former Lok Sabha secretary general P D T Acharya told PTI. Once 50 members stand up in support of the motion, the Speaker only decides on the date and time when it will come up for debate, he said. He also noted that to give a notice of no-confidence motion was the right of a Lok Sabha member and this "right cannot be curtailed."

Trinamool Congress, NCP, AAP, RJD and Communist parties extended support to us,” TDP Parliamentary Party leader Thota Narasimham said. Chandrababu remarked that the whole nation was watching how each party was behaving.
