No-Confidence Motion in Lok Sabha Live Updates: The hearing began at 11 am and the voting is likely to happen in the evening

PM Narendra Modi speaking in Lok Sabha.

New Delhi: After a marathon debate in the Lok Sabha on Friday, the no-confidence motion against the BJP-led NDA government was defeated as 325 lawmakers voted against the motion while 126 voted for it. During the debate, the Congress today accused the government and the BJP of misleading Parliament and the people of the country on the pricing of fighter jet Rafale through "diversion, lies and deception". Congress chief Rahul Gandhi who led the debate from the Opposition's side stood by his statement in Parliament that the French President had told him personally that there was no secret clause on the Rafale deal. Defending the government, PM Narendra Modi in his sharp response, that lasted for roughly two hours said, "due to one careless allegation in the House on Rafale, both nations had to release statements." He said the nation will not forgive you (Congress) for misleading it. Modi also took a dig at Rahul Gandhi for walking towards him and hugging. “Some people are in a rush to get to the treasury benches. What is your hurry? Only 125 crore people of this country can do that.” Taking a swipe at the Opposition parties and exuding confidence of again forming the government, Modi said, "I pray to God to give you strength to bring a no-confidence motion in 2024 also; My best wishes with you." PM also took on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, whose party moved the no-confidence motion, saying "he's fallen into the trap of YSR."

  Jaydev Galla will be the first speaker of the party, followed by Rammohan Naidu. Congress, the main opposition party, has been allocated 38 minutes to present its views on the motion. Congress chief Rahul Gandhi and the leader of the party in the House, Mallikarjun Kharge, are likely to speak on it. Other opposition parties such as the AIADMK, Trinamool Congress (TMC), Biju Janata Dal (BJD), Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) have been allocated 29 minutes, 27 minutes, 15 minutes and nine minutes respectively. The ruling BJP, which enjoys a majority in the House, has been given 3 hours and 33 minutes in the debate, which is scheduled for seven hours. Taking a dig at Gandhi, BJP general secretary Ram Madhav tweeted, saying 38 minutes were allocated for an earthquake in the House and 13 minutes for the mover of the motion. He was referring to the Congress chief's earlier remarks that if he spoke, there would be an earthquake in the House. The no confidence motion was passed by the opposition and was later accepted by the speaker. It is the first time in 15 years that a hearing on no-confidence motion is going to take place.
