This no-confidence motion was moved by Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on behalf of the Opposition parties on July 26. As it had the support of over 50 MPs, it was accepted by the Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla.

This no-confidence motion is bound to fail the numbers test. As per the Opposition, through this, they are only forcing PM Modi, to speak on the Manipur issue in Parliament.

This is the second no-confidence motion against the Modi Modi government since 2014. The first no-trust motion against it was moved in the Lok Sabha on July 20, 2018. But during voting, the NDA got the support of 325 MPs, while only 126 MPs supported the no-confidence motion.
