Speaker admits Congress’s no-confidence motion against govt, over 50 MPs support it
New Delhi: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Wednesday admitted the motion of no confidence in the council of ministers moved by Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi after more than 50 opposition MPs showed support to the motion by standing in their seats.
Gogoi had moved a notice of no-confidence against the government on the Manipur issue as per rules before 10 am on Wednesday.
Taking up the notice at noon when the Lok Sabha resumed after the first adjournment this morning, the Speaker asked Gogoi to move the motion in the House and show the support of MPs for it to be admitted.
Under Rule 198 of the Lok Sabha procedures, a no-confidence motion to be adopted must receive the backing of 50 members once the Speaker puts it up for a show of strength in the House.
