GUWAHATI: Manipur state legislative assembly secretary has rejected opposition Congress‘ notice for no-confidence motion against the BJP-led government and has instead accepted the notice for trust motion, which will be moved by leader of house and chief minister N Biren Singh on August 10.
Manipur Congress spokesman Ningombam Bupenda Meitei told TOI, “Instead of accepting the no-confidence motion moved by the Congress, the Manipur legislative assembly has accepted for motion of confidence by BJP Manipur government, which is to be moved by leader of the house on 10th August, 2020.”
“The opposition Congress is confident to defeat the motion. The Congress has already issued three lines whip to all its 24 MLAs in the House. We will defeat the trust vote moved by the Treasury Bench. We will convert the people’s true mandate of 2017 into reality,” Bupenda added.
Last Wednesday the state Congress decided to move a no confidence motion against the state government on August 10.
