The Lok Sabha on Friday took up a no-confidence motion against the government for debate and voting, two days after the start of the monsoon session. Top guns of the Opposition and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) took part in the debate, which will conclude with a reply from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Congress President Rahul Gandhi also gave a fiery speech during the debate.
Ten hours have been set aside for the debate, which began shortly after 11 am and will continue without any lunch break.
The Modi government is expected to have a smooth sailing. In the 545-member (including the Speaker) Lok Sabha, the BJP-led NDA can bank on around 311 members, including the 273 of the BJP, Shiromani Akali Dal's (SAD's) 4, Lok Janshakti Party's (LJP's) 6, Rashtriya Lok Samta Party's (RLSP's) 3, Janata Dal (United)'s (JD-U's) 2, Apna Dal's 2, All India N R Congress' 1, Sikkim Democratic Front's (SDF's) 1, and Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party's (NDPP's) 1.

Narendra Modi in Lok Sabha
Rural electrification in 18,000 villages could have been done by previous governments as well, but they couldn't. Most of these states are part of north-east India inhabited by Dalits, minorities and others. Why were they not provided with development earlier? Because it did not fulfill their electoral interests.

Narendra Modi in Lok Sabha
Some said Modi won’t be able to stand for more than 15 minutes in the House, I am standing here and I am proud of the work that I have done. Even before the count was over, people walked up to my desk and wanted me to stand up. They should know that nobody can make someone sit or leave. It is the country which decides this.
09:33 PM
This is not a floor test for the government, it is a floor test for the Congress and its so-called friends and allies. No confidence motion is a rouse to keep their flock together. The only aim is to remove a single Modi. Trust your allies and friends just as much you distrust the government: Narendra Modi

Narendra Modi in Lok Sabha
Many are wondering why there is a no-confidence motion at all. I believe that the efforts to delay the discussion on the motion shows their intentions.

Narendra Modi in Lok Sabha
"I sense a negativity and opposition to development and negative politics surrounding people.

This has come forth in a well-decorated fashion today"
09:22 PM
If the no-confidence motion is not passed, with there be an "earthquake": Narendra Modi

AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi
"You say several things about uplifting the backwards and SC/ST, Dalits but your govt went on to appoint the same judge who diluted the SC/ST Act as the NGT chairman. I want a computer and Quran in the hands of youth. I don't see any. Youth employment is a failure. Dalits are being exploited. Fixed deposit is 6 percent, inflation is also 6 percent. 124 soldiers are killed in Jammu and Kashmir. Do you want a Congress-free India or a Muslim Dalit-free India."
