Modi's prophetic statement of 2018 went vira

PM Modi had predicted to bring no-confidence motion against the government 5 years back. In fact, in 2018, when a no-confidence motion was brought against the Modi government in Parliament, PM Modi, while replying in the Lok Sabha, had said, "I would like to wish you that you prepare so much that you get a chance to bring no-confidence again in 2023."

Things you want to know about the motion of no confidence.

1. What is the motive of the opposition behind bringing no-confidence motion

The opposition knows that the government will easily prove its majority in the house, but after the approval of the no-confidence motion, the Prime Minister's speech will also take place. That is, by cornering the government on the Manipur issue during the debate, they will win the battle of perception.

However, the government is insisting that Home Minister Amit Shah will respond to the debate on the Manipur situation.

2. The proposal was supported by 50 MPs, this figure was necessary

The no-confidence motion brought by the Congress got the support of 50 MPs. This figure comes under Rule 198 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Lok Sabha. Before this, the person who brings the no-confidence motion has to give a written notice at 10 am. Which is read by the Speaker in the House. After getting the support, the Speaker gives the date for the debate. That is, there will be a debate within 10 days after the motion is accepted.

If it does not, the motion fails and the member who moved it is so informed. On the other hand, if the government fails to prove its majority, it has to resign.

3. What is the current position of the government in the Lok Sabha

There are currently 543 seats in the Lok Sabha. Five of which are vacant. At present, the NDA has 335 MPs in the Lok Sabha. The opposition alliance I.N.D.I.A. has more than 140 MPs. Whereas 60 MPs belong to those parties which are neither associated with NDA nor I.N.D.I.A.

The first no-confidence motion against the Modi government came on 20 July 2018. Then the government got 325 votes, the opposition got 126 votes.

The first no-confidence motion was brought by JB Kriplani in 1963 against the Nehru government. Since then no-confidence motions have been brought 26 times.
