New Delhi: The Narendra Modi-led NDA government on Friday comfortably passed the no-confidence emotion moved by the opposition with an overwhelming majority with the government getting 325 out of a total 451 votes. Only 126 MPs voted in favour of the motion.
The no-confidence motion was put to vote after a 12-hour heated debate which saw the prime minister tearing into the opposition by exposing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s frivolous charges leveled against the government in a point by point rebuttal.
The result indicated that parties not formally part of the BJP-led ruling coalition, the NDA, voted in the government’s favour.
