No-confidence motion: Here’s how much time each party will get during debate

The Narendra Modi-led NDA government will face its first no trust vote on Friday, which it is confident of surviving since it has a comfortable majority in the Lok Sabha. On the other hand, the Congress-led Opposition parties have decided to use this opportunity to expose the Narendra Modi government for its failure on various counts.

The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was allotted 3:33 minutes followed by Congress (38 minutes), AIADMK (29 minutes), AITC (27 minutes), BJP (15 minutes), Shiv Sena (14 minutes), TDP (13 minutes) TRS (9 minutes) and small groups like AAP, RJD, YSRCP (26 minutes in total).

Ahead of the crucial no trust vote, the Congress on Thursday said that Friday’s ‘no-confidence motion’ was more than a show of numbers and it will use the occasion to “expose” the government’s “failure”.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday has already issued a whip directing its MPs to vote in favour of the no-confidence motion. The AAP has members both in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.

The Opposition-sponsored no-trust motion would be taken up for debate in the Lok Sabha on Friday at 11 am. It is the first time that such a move is made since the BJP-led dispensation came to power four years ago.
