PM Modi in Lok Sabha: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will mark his presence in the Lok Sabha today (August 10) in order to reply to the ‘No-Confidence Motion’ moved by the Opposition parties against the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government.
“The PM will be present in the House tomorrow to reply to the no-confidence motion,” Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh informed the Lower House on Wednesday (August 9). Just before the adjournment of the House, the Union Minister confirmed the same.
When No-Confidence Motion was moved by Opposition?:
The opposition moved a No-Confidence Motion against the Modi government on July 26 (Wednesday) which was taken up by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. However, Modi’s government won’t lose the vote as his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies have a majority in the Lok Sabha. Any Lok Sabha MP, who has the support of 50 colleagues, can, at any point of time, introduce a motion of no-confidence against the Council of Ministers.
Thereafter, a discussion on the motion takes place. MPs who support the motion highlight the government’s shortcomings, and the Treasury Benches respond to the issues they raise. Ultimately, voting takes place and if the motion is successful, the government is forced to vacate the office.
NDA strength in Lower House of Parliament:
Notably, the NDA has a commendable majority with a number of 331 MPs out of which the BJP has 303 MPs while the combined strength of the Opposition bloc I.N.D.I.A is 144. The numbers of unaligned parties’ MPs are 70 in the Lower House.
PM facing ‘No-Confidence Motion’ 2nd time:
This is the second time Prime Minister Narendra Modi is facing a no-confidence motion. The first such motion against the Modi government was introduced in 2018 over granting a special category status to Andhra Pradesh which was later defeated. However, the discussion over the motion has been held on August 8 and August 9.
Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on Tuesday (August 8) initiated the debate on the motion which later turned into a heated argument between Opposition and the Centre. Gogoi, while speaking in House said that the Opposition was compelled to move the motion to break the ‘maun vrat’ of the PM and further asked three questions to the PM.
Here are 3 questions asked by Gaurav Gogoi to PM Narendra Modi:
