Is Congress saving Rahul Gandhi for final showdown with Modi?
The 72-hour no-trust war kicked off in Lok Sabha today. Team 'INDIA' took on Team Modi, but Congress bowled Rahul googly.
The Lok Sabha witnessed a significant political event on August 8 as the newly formed alliance of leading opposition parties, INDIA, moved a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.
The motion was primarily driven by the recent turbulence in Manipur, which the opposition sought to highlight and demand the Prime Minister's response. Despite knowing they lacked majority to pass the motion, the opposition used this platform to pressure the government into addressing the Manipur issue.
The debate was initiated by Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi, not Rahul Gandhi. Various MPs voiced their concerns and criticisms, with some demanding the resignation of Manipur's Chief Minister Biren Singh. However, the BJP defended its position, attributing the unrest in Manipur to a "Congress legacy". The day ended with the adjournment of the Lok Sabha, with proceedings set to resume the following day.
Here's a capsule of what happened today.
