Congress moves no-confidence motion against State Government

 

 

 

The Opposition Congress on Wednesday moved a no-confidence motion against the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government in the State Assembly.

The motion, moved by Leader of Opposition Govind Singh, was admitted by Speaker Girish Gautam after Home and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Narottam Mishra said the Government was ready for a discussion. After transacting the scheduled business, the discussion on the motion began in the House. Madhya Pradesh Congress President Kamal Nath had earlier said that the party legislators will bring a no-confidence motion against the BJP government, ‘which has failed on every front’. The Congress has submitted a 104-page chargesheet against the State Government on 51 points, Govind Singh had said on Monday. The Congress had earlier issued a whip asking all MLAs of the party to remain present in the House during the ongoing winter session. In the 230-member Assembly, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has 127 MLAs and the Congress 96.
