No Confidence Motion Live: The numbers are stacked in favour of the government
New Delhi:
The debate on the no-confidence motion against the BJP-led government brought by opposition alliance INDIA will enter its second day today.
Yesterday saw heated exchanges between the BJP and the opposition after Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi opened the debate with a strong statement urging the Centre for action over the ongoing Manipur crisis.
“If Manipur is burning, India is burning. If Manipur is divided, India is divided,” he said.
Mr Gogoi said the opposition bloc INDIA was forced to bring the no-confidence motion against the government to break Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “vow of silence” on Manipur.
The numbers are comfortably stacked in favour of the government and the Opposition is expected to utilise the opportunity to demonstrate its newly firmed up unity to take on the Modi-led BJP in the Lok Sabha elections next year.
