The TDP also plans to vote in support of the government against the opposition on the motion of no-confidence.
In a boost for the BJP-led government at the centre in its quest to override a Supreme Court ruling on who controls Delhi's bureaucrats, Andhra Pradesh's Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has announced It will support the parliamentary bill to do so, despite being a former opponent.
The TDP, which parted ways with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in 2018 and brought a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, now also plans to vote in support of the government against the opposition on the motion of no-confidence.
With three MPs in the Lok Sabha and one MP in the Rajya Sabha, the TDP's support will boost the government's tally, which was already set to have the NCT Delhi (Amendment) Bill 2023 cleared by parliament. This means that both the regional parties of Andhra Pradesh, the ruling YSRCP and the opposition TDP, are now supporting the government.
