Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge sharply criticized Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Wednesday, calling him the "biggest spokesperson" for the government. In response to the opposition&rsquo;s motion to remove Dhankhar, Kharge stated that the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha was the primary cause of disruptions in the upper house. He emphasized that the position of Vice President, historically seen as impartial, had never been subject to such a motion since 1952, as previous officeholders had always been unbiased and adhered to the rules of the House.
Kharge accused Dhankhar of deviating from the tradition of neutrality, arguing that his actions reflected more politics than procedure. He further accused the Rajya Sabha Chairman of stifling important discussions raised by the opposition, claiming that Dhankhar regularly prevented opposition leaders from speaking and deliberately blocked debates on critical issues.
The Congress leader also alleged that Dhankhar was more loyal to the ruling BJP than to the Constitution, describing him as a spokesperson for the government instead of an impartial chair. Kharge remarked that the Vice President seemed more focused on advancing his political agenda than on upholding the dignity of the House.
Kharge clarified that the opposition&rsquo;s motion was not motivated by personal animosity but by a commitment to preserving democratic values, the Constitution, and the integrity of the Rajya Sabha. He stated that the INDIA bloc had taken this step after careful deliberation and due consideration of the prevailing situation, underscoring the importance of safeguarding the nation's democratic institutions.

No trust motion: Congress' Gogoi googly, BJP caught off guard; why didn't Rahul speak explained 

Expecting Rahul Gandhi to table no confidence motion against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, the BJP was clearly off guard as Assam MP Gaurav Gogio spoke about Manipur crisis.&nbsp;

Parliamentary Affairs minister Prahlad Joshi gave the first indication of being surprised when Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla called upon Gaurav Gogoi, the Congress MP from Assam to table the no-confidence motion against the Narendra Modi government.&nbsp; &nbsp; This as reports had claimed that Rahul Gandhi, the recently reinstated MP, will take the BJP head-on and first up in the lower house of the Parliament.&nbsp; &nbsp; Gogoi show followed, he cited eight instances where PM Modi should have spoken but didn&rsquo;t. &nbsp; &nbsp; The BJP had assigned the vocal Nishikant Dubey, known for his attacks on another Congress leader Sashi Tharoor, to take Rahul Gandhi head-on but instead had to rebut the Gogoi googly. &nbsp; &nbsp; But before Dubey stood up to retort, the son of the former Assam chief minister had launched a carefully thought-about attack, taking the Hindi word maun which means silence from the BJP playbook to attack PM Modi. Recall, 'Maun' was an adjective that BJP repeatedly attached with former prime minister Manmohan Singh.&nbsp; &nbsp; Political analysts feel in giving Gogoi the charge instead of Rahul Gandhi, the Congress a masterstroke. Who better than a lawmaker from Assam to lead a no-confidence motion over the crisis in another northeastern state Manipur. &nbsp;

Gaurav Gogoi: not about numbers, aim to break PM Modi's silence

The Congress MP said it is a matter of grave concern that a government which talks about "one India has created two Manipurs -- one living in hills and the other in the valley".&nbsp;

Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on Tuesday said the opposition bloc INDIA was forced to bring the no-confidence motion against the government to break Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "vow of silence" on Manipur.
Initiating the debate on the motion in the Lok Sabha, Gogoi alleged that a government which talks about "one India has created two Manipurs -- one living in hills and the other in the valley".
As the lower house took up the motion moved by Gogoi, there were heated exchanges between the opposition and treasury benches after Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi wondered why Rahul Gandhi's name as lead speaker was withdrawn last minute.
Gogoi's response that should the remarks made by the prime minister in Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla's chamber be revealed in the House evoked a sharp retort from Home Minister Amit Shah who said the member cannot make unsubstantiated claims about the PM.
Gogoi submitted his motion -- 'This House expresses want of confidence in the council of ministers' -- before the House and then made his statement.
He said the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) parties were forced to bring the no-confidence motion as this was never about numbers but about justice for Manipur.
"Manipur demands justice. Martin Luther King Jr had said injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. If Manipur is burning, the whole of India is burning, if Manipur is divided, the country is divided. It was our demand that as the leader of the country, Prime Minister Modi should come to the House and speak about Manipur. However, he kept a 'maun vrat (vow of silence) that he will neither speak in the Lok Sabha nor in the Rajya Sabha," Gogoi said.
"Through the no-confidence motion we want to break his vow of silence," he said.
Gogoi said he would like to ask the prime minister why had he not gone to Manipur, when Rahul Gandhi had gone as had Home Minister Shah and the minister of state for home (Nityanand Rai).

"Why did he (PM Modi) take about 80 days to speak on Manipur and just spoke for 30 seconds. After that there has been no peace appeal on Manipur from him. Ministers are saying they will speak, but as PM the power of his words cannot be matched by ministers," Gogoi said.
The Congress MP said it is a matter of grave concern that a government which talks about "one India has created two Manipurs -- one living in hills and the other in the valley".&nbsp;

No trust motion: 3 times when no-confidence motion led to fall of Indian government

No trust motion: 3 times when no-confidence motion led to fall of Indian government

In Independent India&rsquo;s history there are three instances when no-confidence motion led to the fall of Central governments. &nbsp; &nbsp; Janata Dal leader VP Singh was the prime minister from 1989 to 1990. His National Front coalition, which was propped up by Left parties as well as the BJP to keep the Congress out of power, managed to rule for just 11 months before the saffron party withdrew support over the Ram temple issue. Singh lost the no confidence vote on November 10, 1990. His government needed 261 votes to survive. He secured 142. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Seven years later in 1997, Deve Gowda, the Janata Dal leader was propelled to prime ministership after the 1996 general elections, which dealt a decisive blow to the Congress but also left no other party with enough seats to form a government. That was when Gowda was chosen to lead the United Front coalition government with Congress support on June 1, 1996. However, his fall came almost as abruptly 10 months later, when the Sitaram Kesri-led Congress withdrew its support. In a no-confidence motion taken up on April 11, 1997, Gowda&rsquo;s 13-party coalition succeeded in bagging just 158 of the 545 seats in the Lok Sabha.&nbsp; &nbsp; 90s certainly was a time of fickle tie-ups in India and no surprise that all three no confidence motions that led to fall of governments took place in that decade. &nbsp; &nbsp; Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a BJP veteran, faced two no-confidence motions through his tenures as prime minister, the first of which his government lost by a single vote on April 17, 1999, after the Jayalalithaa-led AIADMK withdrew support. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
