'INDIA' vs 'NDA' to come down to a no-confidence motion in the Parliament? | Oneindia News

  • last year
Amid the political stalemate over the issue of Manipur, the grand opposition alliance, INDIA, an acronym for’ Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance’, is all set to move a no-confidence motion against the ruling regime in this monsoon session. This would be a huge political development as it would be the first time in last 20 years that a notice to move a no-confidence motion would be given. The last time a no-confidence motion was initiated was in 2003 against the Atal Bihari Vajpayee govt. Sources familiar with the development claim that after weighing various options to force Prime Minister Narendra Modi to speak in Parliament on the situation in strife-torn Manipur, it was decided that moving a no-confidence motion would be an effective way to compel the government to initiate a discussion on the issue. The floor leaders of opposition parties held a meeting on Tuesday morning to discuss their strategy amid the logjam between the oppositions and the government over the Manipur issue. The meeting was held in the chamber of the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge. Congress and other opposition parties have been demanding a detailed discussion on the situation in Manipur and a statement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. They have resorted to protests and sloganeering in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, forcing adjournments of the two Houses since the commencement of the monsoon session of Parliament on July 20. The BJP parliamentary party has also met today morning to discuss its strategy in the House, after five days of the monsoon session so far being marked by stalled proceedings. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was present at the meeting.

00:00 Amid the political stalemate over the issue of Manipur, the Grand Opposition Alliance
00:12 (GAAI) and acronym for Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance is all set to move a no-confidence
00:19 motion against the ruling regime in this monsoon session.
00:23 This would be a huge political development as it would be the first time in last 20 years
00:28 that a notice to move a no-confidence motion would be given.
00:32 The last time a no-confidence motion was initiated was in 2003 against the Atal Bihari Vajpayee
00:37 government.
00:38 Sources familiar with the development claim that after weighing various options to force
00:43 Prime Minister Narendra Modi to speak in the Parliament on the situation in strife-torn
00:48 Manipur, it was decided that moving a no-confidence motion would be an effective way to compel
00:53 the government to initiate a discussion on the issue.
00:56 The floor leaders of opposition parties held a meeting today morning to discuss their strategy
01:01 amid the lock-jam between the opposition and the government over the Manipur issue.
01:05 The meeting was held in the chamber of the leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha, Mallik
01:09 Arjun Kharge.
01:10 Congress and other opposition parties have been demanding a detailed discussion on the
01:14 situation in Manipur and a statement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
01:18 They have resorted to protests and sloganeering in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, forcing
01:23 adjournments of the two houses since the commencement of the monsoon session of Parliament on July
01:28 20.
01:29 The BJP parliamentary party has also met today morning to discuss its strategy in the house
01:34 after five days of the monsoon session so far being marked by stalled proceedings.
01:39 Prime Minister Narendra Modi was present at the meeting.
01:42 A no-confidence motion is a parliamentary motion which is moved only in the Lok Sabha
01:47 against the entire Council of Ministers, stating that they are no longer deemed fit to hold
01:53 positions of responsibility due to their inadequacy in some respect or their failure to carry
01:58 out their obligations.
02:00 No prior reasons need to be stated for its adoption in the Lok Sabha and it cannot be
02:05 moved against just a single minister.
02:07 A motion of no-confidence against the government can be introduced only in the Lok Sabha under
02:12 Rule 198.
02:14 The Constitution of India does not mention anything about either a confidence or a no-confidence
02:20 motion.
02:21 Although Article 75 does specify that the Council of Ministers shall be collectively
02:26 responsible to the Lok Sabha.
02:28 A motion of no-confidence can be admitted when a minimum of 50 members support the motion
02:33 in the house.
02:35 The Speaker, once satisfied that the motion is in order, will ask the house if the motion
02:40 can be adopted.
02:41 A debate on the motion, if adopted, has to take place within 10 days of the adoption
02:46 of the motion.
02:47 If the motion is passed in the house, the government is bound to vacate the office.
02:52 A no-confidence motion needs a simple majority, that is 50% of the members present and voting
02:59 to pass the house.
03:00 The first no-confidence motion was moved in 1963 against Jawaharlal Nehru government.
03:06 Other prime ministers to face motion of no-confidence include Indira Gandhi, Murari Desai, Rajiv
03:12 Gandhi, P. V. Narsimha Rao and Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
03:15 The first government to be brought down by a no-confidence motion was that of Murari
03:20 Desai.
