The Opposition coalition ‘INDIA’ intended to introduce a Lok Sabha no-confidence motion against the Narendra Modi administration. The House needs a majority to rule.
In the midst of Parliament’s gridlock, the newly formed Opposition alliance ‘INDIA’ had announced it will introduce a no-confidence motion against the Narendra Modi government in the Lok Sabha.
Because “very important issues” would be discussed, all Congress Lok Sabha members must stay in the chamber till the session ends.
A Lok Sabha majority is needed for an Indian administration to stay in office. The administration must demonstrate its determination on the House floor. If they feel the government lacks this majority, House members can make a “no confidence” motion. If the motion passes, the administration must oppose it to show its majority.
The cabinet must resign if the House approves. The prime minister can move a “confidence” motion in Lok Sabha to show government strength.Lok Sabha adjourns without debating a no-confidence resolution.Its proposer?
Under Lok Sabha Rule 198, any member can propose a no-confidence resolution.
The member must write to the Lok Sabha Secretary General by 10 am on any day the Lok Sabha is in session. After 10 am, a notification is deemed received on the next sitting day.
A member can move a no-confidence motion without explanation.
What Happens When a Confidence Motion Is Passed?
After the Speaker approves, a “no-confidence” motion is read to the chamber. The motion needs 50 votes. If not, the motion fails and the mover is alerted.
After approval, the Speaker will schedule a debate. Ten days following the motion’s approval is the maximum. The Speaker said the plan can be considered for one day, several days, or even part of a day. S/he may also limit speeches throughout the discussion.
On the last day of debate, the proposal is voted on. “Voice Vote,” “Division of Votes,” and others are voting methods.
If a majority of lawmakers support a “no confidence” resolution, the present administration must resign. No-confidence motions need not be spaced out.
In August 1963, Acharya Kripalani proposed the first no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. Indira Gandhi answered the no-confidence motion 15 times. Prime ministers Lal Bahadur Shastri, Morarji Desai, Rajiv Gandhi, and PV Narasimha Rao dealt with the motion.
In 2003, Sonia Gandhi submitted a no-confidence motion to the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led NDA government. The motion failed 314–189.
The Narendra Modi-led NDA defeated the Lok Sabha no-confidence motion in 2018 by 199 votes.
Conclusion:-
The Opposition coalition ‘INDIA’ would launch a Lok Sabha no-confidence motion against the Narendra Modi administration to resolve Parliament’s impasse. All House members must stay in the chamber to debate key matters. If they feel the government lacks a majority, House members can make a “no confidence” motion. The government must defeat it if authorized. If the motion passes, the cabinet must resign. A “confidence” motion by the prime minister shows the government’s strength. The Speaker evaluates a no-confidence motion read to the chamber. The motion needs 50 votes. The Speaker will pick a day for the motion’s debate, which can be one, many, or all day. Voting techniques include “Voice Vote” and “Division of Votes.” If a “no confidence” vote passes or a majority of legislators approves, the present administration must retire.
