Lok Sabha to take up no-trust motion debate on Aug 8

New Delhi: Lok Sabha will debate the noconfidence motion from August 8 to 10 and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to reply to the opposition-sponsored move on the last day with the numbers clearly in favour of the ruling NDA.

The decision on the debate was taken at the Lok Sabha's business advisory committee meeting convened by Speaker Om Birla, as constituents of the INDIA alliance walked out in protest against it not being taken up on priority.

The fate of the no-confidence motion moved by Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, is clear as the NDA has the support of a majority members in Lok Sabha. With 301 MP of its own, the BJP-led NDA has a total of 325 MPs in the Lok Sabha. (PTI)
