No-Confidence Motion in LS on Aug 8, Govt Gets Support of BJD’s 12 MPs Too

The no-confidence motion moved by the Opposition in the Lok Sabha will be taken up on August 8. The government has already secured the support of the Biju Janata Dal (BJD), which has 12 MPs in the Lower House. The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) has also pledged its support to the government, with its 22 MPs.

With the support of the BJD and the YSRCP, the government is well ahead in numbers and the no-confidence motion is unlikely to succeed. However, the Opposition is hoping to use the debate on the motion to put the government on the mat for political points.

The Opposition has accused the government of mishandling the economy, failing to control inflation, and increasing unemployment. They have also criticized the government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent communal violence in several parts of the country.

The government is likely to defend its record in the debate. They are likely to point to the steps they have taken to improve the economy, control inflation, and create jobs. They are also likely to highlight their achievements in other areas, such as infrastructure development and social welfare.

The no-confidence motion is unlikely to succeed, but it is still likely to be a heated debate. The Opposition will be looking to score political points, while the government will be looking to defend its record.
