BJP refuses to back no-trust motion against UPA govt on Telangana issue

The Speaker tried to take up the notice on three consecutive days but failed due to continuing disruptions.

BJP leaders said though the no-confidence motion does not mention Telangana, since it has been moved by those who want to express their protest against the government for not bringing the Bill on creating the new state, the party cannot support it.

However, BJP insisted though it will not support the no-confidence motion, it alleged the UPA government has already lost its credibility and the right to rule.

“Congress has lost elections in four states, most of them big states, and hence has lost its legitimacy to rule,” Swaraj said.

“It is unprecedented that MPs of the ruling party are moving a no-confidence motion against the government,” she added.
