Tension and Anticipation: PM Modi Set to Address No-Trust Motion in Lok Sabha Today

Today is the last day of the motion’s debate, which began on August 8. Today’s no-confidence motion is the subject of a contentious debate between the government and the opposition. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to respond to the motion in the Lok Sabha. After 4 o’clock today, he’ll most likely address the House.

In order to force a legislative debate on the violence in Manipur and other hot-button issues, the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A.) presented a no-confidence vote against the administration of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

1. Rajnath Singh, the Union defense minister, previously informed the Lok Sabha that “the PM will be present in the House tomorrow to reply to the no-confidence motion.”
2. Both sides engaged in a heated verbal exchange during the past two days. The ruling coalition defended itself by denying the government’s social activities as the opposition accused the center of dividing Manipur.
3. In order to break Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “maun vrat” (vow of silence) over the violence in Manipur, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, who started the discussion, claimed that the I.N.D.I.A. bloc was compelled to introduce the no-confidence resolution against the government.
4. The administration, he continued, “has created two Manipurs—one living in the hills and the other in the valley—despite talking about one India.”
5. Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister, criticized the Opposition for launching the no-confidence motion and causing “confusion.” “The no-confidence motions only goal is to create confusion. They don’t support farmers, the underprivileged, or the outdated.
6. They are only concerned about their family, he remarked. PM Modi will be in the Lok Sabha today, according to Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.
7. On August 11, the final day of the monsoon session, the national government previously committed to tackling the issue linked to the unrest in Manipur. Even though there will be voting at the conclusion of the discussion, the BJP-led NDA government will rarely suffer as a result.
8. The BJP alone represents 303 of its 331 Lower House members, well above the majority threshold 272. The I.N.D.I.A. group, on the other hand, now has 144 MPs, with the potential to rise to 152 if BRS joins the coalition.
9. With 70 MPs, Naveen Patnaik’s BJD has so far refrained from endorsing the resolution. The opposition defended their move to assist them in winning the motion even though they knew their chances of doing so were limited.
