Prime Minister Narendra Modi will mark his presence in the Lok Sabha on August 10 to reply to the no-confidence motion moved by the Opposition against the NDA government, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Wednesday.
“The PM will be present in the House tomorrow to reply to the no-confidence motion,” the Union minister told the Lower House.
Just before the adjournment of the House, the Union Minister confirmed the same.
The opposition moved a no-confidence motion against the Modi government on July 26 which was taken up by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla.
However, Modi's government won't lose the vote as his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies
have a majority in the Lok Sabha.
Any Lok Sabha MP, who has the support of 50 colleagues, can, at any point of time, introduce a
motion of no-confidence against the Council of Ministers.
Thereafter, a discussion on the motion takes place. MPs who support the motion highlight the
government’s shortcomings, and the Treasury Benches respond to the issues they raise. Ultimately, voting takes place and if the motion is successful, the govt is forced to vacate the office.
