Last week, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on behalf of opposition parties of I.N.D.I.A alliance filed the no confidence motion against PM Narenkdra Modi’s government. After assessing the support it has, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla acknowledged the motion and said he would schedule the same for discussion. 

Speaker said, “I will discuss with the leaders of all parties and inform of you of an appropriate time to take this up for discussion.” 

However, the Narendra Modi government, which enjoys the support of at least 332 MPs in the Lok Sabha, faces virtually no threat from this no-confidence motion. Meanwhile, the opposition said that they are very much aware that they might fail the number test and the purpose of this motion is to pressure the prime minister to speak on the issue.
