Congress ready to move no-confidence motion
Congress party, with the support of other national parties, would move no-confidence motion in the Parliament against the NDA government if necessary on the Special Category Status issue, said former Union minister Pallam Raju on Tuesday.
Vijayawada: Congress party, with the support of other national parties, would move no-confidence motion in the Parliament against the NDA government if necessary on the Special Category Status issue, said former Union minister Pallam Raju on Tuesday.
The senior Congress leader addressed the media at the State Congress party office in view of the debate going on in the state over the no- confidence motion move proposed by the ruling Telugu Desam and the YSRCP.
Pallam Raju has made it clear that the Congress party has been fighting for the last four years to get grants from the NDA government as per the State Re-organisation Act. The Congress party has the strength of 46 members in Lok Sabha and would take the support of other national parties to move the no-confidence motion if necessary, he asserted.
The move is to exert pressure on the NDA government to grant Special Category Status to the State. He alleges that both Telugu Desam and the YSRCP are enacting dramas on moving the no-confidence motion alleging that the two parties have no intention on it.
He recalled that the Congress party had given notice under the 184 rule for the discussions in the Lok Sabha on the Special Category Status. The party is committed to the fight for the SCS. He said the assurances were given to the Andhra Pradesh on the AP Re-organisation Act under the UPA rule led by former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh. But the present NDA government is totally neglecting it.
He hoped discussion will be taken up in the Parliament on the assistance given to the Andhra Pradesh as per the State Re-organisationAct since all parties had unanimously agreed to render assistance to the AP during the bifurcation of the state.
