No-trust move fails to muster support
No-Trust Move Fails to Muster Support, No-Confidence Motion Against the Government. Speaker Meira Kumar said she had received Notices for No-Confidence Motion but she could not proceed with it until the House was in order. As disruptions continued, she adjourned the House for the day.

New Delhi: The Seemandhra MPs had not been able to muster support for the No-Confidence Motion, as Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who was in the capital, made it clear that she would not back such a move.
Speaker Meira Kumar said she had received Notices for No-Confidence Motion but she could not proceed with it until the House was in order. As disruptions continued, she adjourned the House for the day.
Since the House could not take up the No-Confidence Motion, the Seemandhra MPs managed to get away with the impression that they enjoyed wider support among the political parties. Some of the TDP MPs claimed the support of 84 MPs. Congress MP L Rajagopal claimed that the Congress had lost the confidence of the nation and the No-Confidence Motion would show that it had lost the confidence of Parliament.
The six Seemandhra Congress MPs met Mamata Banerjee to seek her support for the No-Confidence Motion. Mamata Banerjee told them that she stood for united India. She stood for their cause but she could not back their No-Confidence Motion against the government.
“The government has already lost the confidence of the nation and it will go in the next elections. There is no need for a No-Confidence Motion against it,” Mamata Banerjee said, adding that in such an eventuality, the Left and the Samajwadi Party would bail out the government.
The Samajwadi Party is extending outside support to the Congress-led UPA Government and it cannot support the No-Confidence Motion unless and until it formally withdraws support to the government.
The Left, too, is not supporting the No-Confidence Motion against the government. Significantly, the Left and the Samajwadi Party work in close coordination and the two act in tandem. The BJP, which is the principal Opposition party, despite its opposition to the Congress, is not mulling such a move, as it feels that ahead of the General Election in 2014, such a move could be politically counter-productive. The BJP, instead, has turned its ire against Speaker Meira Kumar, who allowed the JPC Report on 2G Spectrum pricing issue to be tabled in Parliament, despite their stout Opposition to it.
