YSR Cong, TDP to pitch for no-trust notices in LS today

New Delhi: The YSR Congress and the Telugu Desam Party will pitch for taking up their notices of no-confidence motion against the Modi government when the Lok Sabha meets on Monday amid no signs of a let-up in the deadlock in its proceedings.

Y V Subba Reddy of the YSR Congress has written to the Lok Sabha secretariat to put his notice of the motion in the revised list of business for Monday. The TDP has also moved a notice for a no-confidence motion.

When their notices were not taken up last week, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar had argued that they could not be due to the House being not in order, with members of several parties raising slogans in the Well.

The YSR Congress was the first to give notice last week for a no-trust motion after the Centre made it clear that it would not grant Special Category Status to Andhra Pradesh.

Not to be outdone by its main rival in the state, the TDP, a longtime BJP ally, then decided to break its ties over the issue and brought a no-confidence motion of its own.
