Congress to bring no-confidence motion against BJP govt. in Madhya Pradesh Assembly session

The Congress has already submitted a notice to the Madhya Pradesh Assembly secretariat to bring a no-confidence motion

The opposition Congress in Madhya Pradesh will bring a no-confidence motion against the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government during the winter session of the Assembly beginning Monday, a senior leader has said.

The five-day winter session will conclude on December 23, MP Assembly's principal secretary A.P. Singh said on Sunday.

State Congress president Kamal Nath told party MLAs at his residence on Sunday that a no-confidence motion will be brought against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, "which has failed on every front", a party release said.

The Congress has already submitted a notice to the Assembly secretariat to bring a no-confidence motion.

In the 230-member House, the BJP has 127 MLAs and the Congress 96.

Madhya Pradesh Assembly Speaker Girish Gautam convened an all-party meeting on Sunday evening to discuss the smooth running of the session.

“In the all-party meeting chaired by the Speaker, a consensus has been reached among the members that the House should run in a cordial atmosphere and more members be allowed to speak,” State Home and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Narottam Mishra told reporters.
