No-trust motion against Modi government, debate and voting on Friday

The Lok Sabha will on Friday debate and vote on a no-confidence motion against the Modi government after the Speaker admitted their notices. This will be the first since the BJP-led NDA combine came to power four years ago.

The no-trust motion in Parliament that was moved and accepted by Speaker Sumitra Mahajan for the first time in 15 years does not pose a threat to the government as the NDA enjoys a comfortable majority. In August 2003, the Congress with the help of other opposition parties had moved a no-confidence motion against the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government but it was defeated by a huge margin.
